Flour Conversion Charts + Calculator

Convert flour between grams, cups, ounces, pounds, kilograms, tablespoons, teaspoons and milliliters with the calculator and detailed conversion charts below. The default values shown are for all-purpose flour measured using a lightly filled, leveled US cup.

Flour conversion standard: For all-purpose flour, this page uses 1 US cup = 120 grams = approximately 4.23 ounces. A cup of flour can weigh more when it is packed or scooped directly from the bag, so weighing flour is the most consistent method for baking.

These are dry weight ounces, not fluid ounces. Dry ounces measure the mass of the flour, while cups and spoons measure its volume.

Flour Type Conversion Comparison

Not all flours fill a measuring cup at the same weight. This table shows the flour-specific reference values used in the calculator. The figures are intended for measurement conversions, not direct recipe substitutions.

Important: Changing the flour type updates the measurement conversion, but it does not mean one flour can be substituted cup-for-cup in a recipe. Gluten content, absorbency, texture and leavening behavior can change the final result.

How to Convert Flour Measurements

Convert grams to cups

Cups = Grams ÷ Grams per Cup
Example: 250 g all-purpose flour ÷ 120 = 2.0833 US cups.

Convert cups to grams

Grams = Cups × Grams per Cup
Example: 2.5 US cups all-purpose flour × 120 = 300 grams.

For dry weight conversions, 1 ounce = approximately 28.35 grams and 1 pound = approximately 453.59 grams. For the US culinary volume used in this chart, 1 cup equals 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.

US Cups, Metric Cups and Imperial Cups

Recipes from different countries may use different cup sizes. Since flour is a dry ingredient, the gram amount in a cup changes when the cup volume changes. The converter lets you choose the cup standard used in your recipe.

All-purpose flour cup-size comparison
Cup Standard Cup Volume Used Approx. All-Purpose Flour Weight When It May Appear
US culinary cup240 mL120 gAmerican recipes
Metric cup250 mL125 gAustralian and metric-cup recipes
Imperial cup284 mL142 gSome older UK or Commonwealth references

Metric and imperial cup flour amounts on this page are scaled from the stated 120 g per 240 mL all-purpose flour standard. Flour does not compact perfectly uniformly, so treat volume conversions as practical recipe estimates.

How to Measure Flour Correctly

The same measuring cup can hold very different amounts of flour depending on how it is filled. Flour packed into a cup can lead to dry bread, dense cakes or crumbly cookies. For the most consistent result, use a kitchen scale and measure the flour in grams.

Weigh flour when possible. Place a bowl on a digital scale, tare it to zero and add flour until the required gram amount is reached.
If using cups, loosen the flour first. Stir or fluff the flour in its container so it is not compressed before measuring.
Spoon flour into the cup. Lightly transfer flour into the measuring cup instead of pushing or digging the cup into the flour bag.
Level the top without packing. Sweep a straight edge across the top of the cup. Do not tap the cup or press additional flour into it.

Scooped Flour

When a measuring cup is plunged into a bag of flour, the flour can compact and the cup may contain more flour than the conversion standard assumes.

Sifted Flour

“1 cup sifted flour” and “1 cup flour, sifted” can represent different recipe instructions. When a recipe provides grams, follow the gram weight instead.

Which Flour Conversion Should You Use?

Wheat-Based Baking Flours

  • All-purpose flour: the default general baking flour on this page.
  • Bread flour: often used for breads and pizza dough.
  • Cake or pastry flour: used for tender cakes and pastries.
  • Whole wheat flour: includes more of the wheat kernel and uses its own chart value.

Alternative and Gluten-Free Flours

  • Almond flour: lighter per cup than all-purpose flour.
  • Coconut flour: behaves very differently and absorbs significant moisture.
  • Oat, rice and chickpea flour: use their individual weights in the selector.
  • Gluten-free all-purpose flour: select the matching flour blend when converting measurements.

Frequently Asked Flour Conversion Questions

How many cups is 100 grams of all-purpose flour?

Using this page’s standard of 120 grams per US cup, 100 grams of all-purpose flour is approximately 0.8333 US cups, or a little more than 3/4 cup.

How many cups is 250 grams of flour?

For all-purpose flour, 250 grams is approximately 2.0833 US cups. The result changes when converting a different flour type or using a metric or imperial cup.

How many grams are in 1 cup of flour?

This chart uses 120 grams per US cup of all-purpose flour. Other flour types have different cup weights, and flour packed into a measuring cup may weigh more.

Are ounces of flour the same as fluid ounces?

No. Ounces in a flour recipe usually mean dry weight ounces measured on a scale. Fluid ounces measure volume. This converter uses dry weight ounces when converting flour weight.

Can I use the all-purpose flour chart for bread flour?

This page’s source uses the same 120 grams per US cup value for all-purpose flour and bread flour. You should still choose bread flour in the calculator so the ingredient being converted is clearly identified.

Why do some flour charts say 120 grams and others say 125 grams or more per cup?

Flour volume varies with measuring method, compaction, moisture, brand and cup standard. A lightly filled, leveled cup weighs less than a tightly scooped cup. This page uses one stated standard consistently so conversions remain predictable.

Is weighing flour better than using measuring cups?

Yes. A scale measures flour directly by weight and avoids the variation caused by scooping, packing or sifting. Cups remain useful when a recipe only provides volume measurements.

Conversion Methodology

This converter uses published ingredient weight references for the listed flour types. The default all-purpose flour standard is 1 US cup = 120 grams. Volume relationships use a practical culinary US cup of 240 mL, with 16 US tablespoons or 48 US teaspoons per cup. Metric and imperial cup results are calculated by scaling volume from the selected flour’s US-cup basis.

Accuracy note: Flour volume conversions are approximate because real flour weight varies with how the flour is stored, aerated, sifted and placed into the cup. When precision matters, use the gram measurement shown in the recipe.
