Convert Cups to Grams: Salted Butter
Convert cups of salted butter to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of salted butter = 227g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because salted butter density can vary by measuring technique.

Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Salted butter weighs virtually the same as unsalted — the salt content is minimal. 1 cup = 227g. Use unsalted for baking when precise salt control matters. Salted butter keeps longer in the refrigerator.
About Salted Butter Density
The density of salted butter determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.946g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of salted butter weighs 227g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
