Butter Unit Converter (Sticks / Grams / Tablespoons / Cups)
US recipes call for "1 stick", "½ cup" or "8 tbsp" of butter, while supermarkets in the UK, Australia and Hong Kong sell butter by *grams* and many home cooks measure with *tablespoons*. This tool uses the canonical 1 US stick = 113.4 g = ½ cup = 8 tbsp = 4 oz identity to convert between all four units — enter any one and the others update instantly.
Enter a valid value between 0 and 1 000 000.

US retail standard: 1 stick = ½ cup = 8 tbsp = 4 oz = 113.4 g.
Formula
1 stick (US) = ½ cup = 8 tbsp = 4 oz = 113.4 g 1 cup = 2 sticks = 16 tbsp = 226.8 g 1 tbsp = 113.4 ÷ 8 ≈ 14.175 g All conversions go through *grams* as the canonical reference: multiply by g-per-unit to get grams, then divide by the target unit's g-per-unit.
- · **Where 113.4 g comes from** — a US stick of butter is packed at *4 oz* (avoirdupois). 4 × 28.349523125 g/oz = 113.398 g, rounded to 113 g or 113.4 g. USDA FoodData Central (NDB 1145) uses 113.4 g, and King Arthur Baking publishes 1 cup = 227 g (i.e. 2 sticks rounded up).
- · **European butter is sold in 250 g blocks**, not sticks. Germany, France and Italy ship 250 g blocks (≈ **1.10 US sticks** ≈ 17.6 tbsp ≈ 1.10 cup). China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong sell butter mainly by *grams* as well — sticks are a US-only convention.
- · **Historical UK "stick"** — does not exist. UK butter packs are 250 g (formerly 8 oz = 226.8 g). When an old British recipe says "1 oz butter" it means *avoirdupois ounce* = 28.35 g (never troy ounce).
- · **Salted vs unsalted butter density** is almost identical (~ 0.911 g/ml at 4 °C). Because the four units here are anchored to *fixed mass* (stick, oz) or *fixed volume* (cup, tbsp) by retail convention rather than density, this tool uses the *USDA packaging convention*: 1 cup = 226.8 g, not 0.911 × 236.6 ml.
- · **Australian tablespoon ≠ US tablespoon**. An *Australian tbsp* is 20 ml (4 metric tsp); a *US tbsp* is 14.787 ml (~ 3 tsp). This tool uses the US tbsp = 14.175 g of butter (i.e. 113.4 ÷ 8). For Aussie recipes, multiply tablespoons by 20 / 14.787 ≈ 1.353.
- · **Melted butter / ghee** occupies about 5–8 % more volume than the same mass of solid butter (the fat liquefies and expands slightly). This tool assumes room-temperature *solid* butter; treat melted-butter recipes separately.
- · **Sources**: (1) USDA FoodData Central, NDB 1145 — 1 tbsp salted butter = 14.2 g; (2) King Arthur Baking Ingredient Weight Chart 2024 — 1 cup butter = 227 g; (3) Land O'Lakes / Cabot retail packaging.
Frequently asked
How many grams is one US stick of butter?
**113 g to 113.4 g**, depending on rounding. A US stick is packaged at 4 oz; 4 × 28.349523125 g/oz = **113.398 g**, written as **113 g** by Land O'Lakes and Cabot, or **113.4 g** by USDA FoodData Central. Equivalent in other units: 1 stick = **½ cup** = **8 tbsp** = **24 tsp**. **Example**: a recipe asking for "2 sticks butter" means **227 g** or **1 cup**. If you only have a 250 g European block, that is roughly **2 sticks plus 1 tablespoon**.
My butter comes in a 250 g European block — how do I match a US recipe?
**250 g ≈ 2.20 US sticks = 1.10 cups = 17.6 tbsp**. Practical mapping: (a) *1 stick* → about **45 % of a 250 g block** (≈ 113 g — *just under half* the block); (b) *2 sticks (1 cup)* → about **90 % of the block** (227 g, leaves a 23 g end); (c) *½ cup* → about **24 %** (57 g); (d) *¼ cup* → about **12 %** (28 g). **Tip**: cut the 250 g block lengthwise into 4 equal pieces of 62.5 g (≈ **4.4 tbsp**) — much more accurate than eyeballing. Better still, weigh on a kitchen scale.
Is measuring butter by the tablespoon accurate enough?
**Good enough for cookies / pound cake; not good enough for macarons / laminated dough**. 1 tbsp of butter ≈ 14.175 g, but in practice you will get ± 1–2 g depending on how packed and how level the spoon is. A **~3 % error** does not matter for buttercream or quick bread, but it does matter for *laminated doughs* (croissants, puff pastry), macarons and brioche, where butter mass directly drives dough texture — weigh to ± 0.5 g. **Lazy hack**: US stick wrappers *are printed with tablespoon marks*, so 1/8 of a stick = 1 tbsp by cutting. European 250 g blocks have no markings — use a kitchen scale instead.
