This free butter conversion calculator turns butter between sticks, cups, tablespoons, grams and ounces, by USDA's own weights.
It's for US recipes that say "1 stick" and kitchens that weigh in grams, and the other way round.
I built it because butter is the ingredient recipes measure in the most ways, and a wrong guess changes how a cake bakes.
Here are the numbers, where they come from, and a table for every common amount.
TL;DRKey takeaways
What is a butter conversion calculator?
A butter conversion calculator turns an amount of butter from one unit into the others.
US recipes measure butter in sticks and cups, most other countries in grams, so it bridges the 2.
Butter by the numbers
USDA FoodData Central lists butter's portions by weight.
A worked example
Here's the example the calculator loads: 1 stick.
That's 113 g, ½ cup, 8 tablespoons or about 4 oz. 2 sticks make a cup, 227 g.
Mistakes to avoid
These are the slips that change a bake.
- Treating a European 250 g block as 2 sticks: it's a little more than 2
- Measuring melted butter in a cup when the recipe means solid
- Packing softened butter into a cup with air pockets
Who is the butter conversion calculator for?
It's for bakers working between US and metric recipes, and these tools help around it.
- Cooking converter – for every kitchen unit at once
- Cups to grams converter – for 40 ingredients by weight
- Recipe scaler – for a full recipe, with grams
Weigh the butter once, and the recipe comes out the same every time.
