How many tablespoons is 100 grams?
For granulated sugar, 100 grams is 8 tablespoons — exactly half a US cup. For all-purpose flour it is 13.3 tablespoons, for butter 7 tablespoons, and for honey just 4.7. The lighter the ingredient, the more spoonfuls the same weight fills. The spread is wide enough to matter in practice: the same 100 g fills nearly three times as many spoons of flour as of honey. That is density doing the work, not a rounding difference between sources. Reading the other direction, 50 g of sugar is 4 tablespoons, 200 g is 16, and 250 g is 20. Every value from 5 g to 500 g is tabulated below for eight common ingredients, so specific-number conversions live in one place rather than scattered across dozens of near-identical thin pages. All figures assume level spoons and the densities published on this site.

This page exists so that every specific-number conversion lives in one place rather than scattered across dozens of near-identical thin pages. 10 g, 15 g, 20 g, 40 g, 50 g, 100 g and everything between are all here, for every ingredient the site covers.
The table is searchable and sortable. Type a number to filter to it, or click a column header to reorder. Every row is generated from the same density values the calculator uses, so the chart and the tool can never disagree.
If your value is not listed, the calculator at the top of the page handles any number at all, including decimals.
How to read the chart
Each row is one gram quantity; each column is one ingredient. Find your row, read across to your ingredient, and that cell is your answer in tablespoons.
Find your gram value
Rows run from 5 g to 500 g. Use the search box for anything in between.
Read across to your ingredient
Sugar, flour and butter are the three main columns, since they cover most baking.
Convert the decimal into spoonfuls
13.3 tablespoons means 13 level tablespoons plus a third of one, which is 1 teaspoon.
Cross-check against cups if the number is large
Anything above 8 tablespoons is easier to measure in cups. 16 tablespoons is one cup.
The most-searched values
Pulled out of the table because these are the ones people look up most.
10 g
= 0.8 tbsp sugar
1.3 tbsp of flour, or 0.7 tbsp of butter. Below one tablespoon for most dense ingredients.
15 g
= 1.2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp of flour. The value most often mistaken for "one tablespoon" — it isn't, for anything but water.
20 g
= 1.6 tbsp sugar
2.7 tbsp of flour, or 1.4 tbsp of butter.
40 g
= 3.2 tbsp sugar
5.3 tbsp of flour — which is also exactly ⅓ cup of flour.
50 g
= 4 tbsp sugar
Exactly 4, and also ¼ cup. For butter it is 3.5 tbsp.
100 g
= 8 tbsp sugar
Exactly ½ cup of sugar. For flour it is 13.3 tbsp, and for butter 7 tbsp.
Accuracy and assumptions
Every cell in this table is computed from one density value per ingredient, then rounded for display. Nothing is entered by hand, so there are no transcription errors and no rows that quietly contradict the calculator above.
All measurements are level and use the US tablespoon of 14.79 ml. Brown sugar assumes firm packing; powdered sugar and cocoa assume sifting.
Values are rounded to one or two decimal places depending on magnitude. A figure like 13.33 tablespoons is more usefully read as "13 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon".
These are culinary reference averages suitable for cooking, not analytical measurements.
Patterns worth noticing
100 g of sugar is exactly ½ cup
8 tablespoons. One of the few conversions that lands on a clean fraction in both systems.
50 g of sugar is exactly 4 tablespoons
Which is ¼ cup. The 50 g and 100 g sugar values are the two most useful figures to memorise.
Flour always gives more spoonfuls than sugar
About 1.67 times as many, because flour is 7.5 g per tablespoon against sugar's 12.5 g.
Honey gives the fewest
21.25 g per tablespoon makes it the densest common baking ingredient. 100 g of honey is under 5 tablespoons.
14 g is roughly one tablespoon of butter
The reason "14 grams" is a common search: it is the weight of a single tablespoon of butter, as printed on US butter wrappers.
15 g is not one tablespoon of anything you bake with
It is one tablespoon of water. For sugar, 15 g is 1.2 tablespoons; for flour, 2.

Frequently asked questions
How many tablespoons is 100 g?
8 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 13.3 of all-purpose flour, or 7 of butter. For sugar, 100 g is exactly half a US cup.
How many tablespoons is 50 grams?
Exactly 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, which is also ¼ cup. Flour gives 6.7 tablespoons and butter 3.5.
Where do the values in this chart come from?
Every cell is calculated from a single density figure per ingredient, expressed as grams per US cup, rather than typed in by hand. The chart and the calculator therefore always agree.
My value isn't in the table. What now?
Use the calculator at the top of the page — it accepts any number including decimals, and returns tablespoons, teaspoons, cups, millilitres and ounces at once.
Are these level or heaped tablespoons?
Level, in every row. Fill the spoon and scrape it flat with a straight edge. A heaped spoon holds 1.5 to 2 times as much and cannot be converted reliably.
Your data stays on your device
This calculator runs entirely in your browser. There is no server that receives your numbers, because there is no server call at all — the conversion is JavaScript executing on your own device.
No account, ever
No signup wall, no email capture, no "create a free account to see your result".
Nothing transmitted
Your amounts and ingredient choices are never sent anywhere. Turn off your connection after the page loads and the calculator still works.
Served over HTTPS
The whole site is encrypted in transit, with no mixed content and no third-party scripts injected into the calculator.
Find your value in one place
Search the table for the number your recipe gives you, or use the calculator for anything it does not list. Either way, you get a value that accounts for what you are actually measuring.
