How This Conversion Works
Grams = cups × 227 (1 cup of butter = 2 standard US sticks = 227g). Cups = grams ÷ 227.
Worked example
A recipe calls for 100g of butter.
100 ÷ 227 = 0.4405 cups
That's just under 1/2 cup — about 7 tablespoons.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is a cup of butter?
1 cup of butter is 227 grams. This is the most exact conversion on this site, since a standard US butter stick is a fixed 113.5g (1/2 cup) — 2 sticks always equal 1 cup, unlike flour or sugar where the weight depends on how it's measured.
How many sticks of butter is a cup?
2 standard US sticks of butter equal 1 cup (227g). Each stick is 1/2 cup (113.5g), and most US butter packaging marks tablespoon lines directly on the wrapper for smaller amounts.
Does salted vs. unsalted butter weigh differently?
No, the weight per cup is the same either way — salt doesn't meaningfully change the volume-to-weight ratio of butter. Use whichever your recipe calls for; the conversion itself doesn't change.
