Convert sugar between cups, grams, ounces, pounds, tablespoons, teaspoons, kilograms, and milliliters for baking, cooking, and recipe scaling.
Choose sugar type:
Select the type of sugar so the calculator can use the right approximate grams-per-cup value.
Select units:
Choose the unit you are converting from and the unit you want to convert to.
Scale a recipe:
Use the recipe multiplier to halve, double, triple, or resize a sugar amount.
A sugar conversion calculator helps convert recipe measurements between volume and weight.
This is useful for baking, desserts, drinks, sauces, meal prep, nutrition tracking, metric recipes, and converting between cups, grams, and ounces.
Your result shows the converted sugar amount based on the sugar type, starting unit, ending unit, grams per cup, and recipe multiplier. Since sugar density varies by type, cup-to-gram conversions are estimates.
One cup of granulated sugar is commonly estimated at about 200 grams. Packed brown sugar is about 220 grams per cup, and powdered sugar is about 120 grams per cup.
Multiply cups by the grams per cup for the selected sugar type. For granulated sugar, 2 cups × 200 grams equals about 400 grams.
Divide grams by the grams per cup. For granulated sugar, 400 grams divided by 200 grams per cup equals about 2 cups.
Sugar conversion varies because different sugar types have different densities. Brown sugar can also change depending on whether it is packed or loosely measured.
