Honey Conversion Charts + Calculator

Convert honey between grams, cups, ounces, pounds, kilograms, tablespoons, teaspoons, fluid ounces and milliliters with the calculator and detailed conversion charts below. The default measurements are for pourable liquid honey using a US culinary cup.

Honey conversion standard: This page uses 1 US tablespoon = 21 grams, which equals 1 US cup = 336 grams = approximately 11.85 ounces by weight. Honey is dense, so a cup of honey weighs substantially more than a cup of water.

Honey Measurement Reference Chart

Honey is considerably denser than water. This reference table summarizes the standard measurements used in the converter and is useful when scaling recipes or checking label serving sizes.

Liquid honey measurement equivalents
Measurement	Approx. Grams	Approx. Ounces by Weight	Milliliters
1 US teaspoon	7 g	0.247 oz	5 mL
1 US tablespoon	21 g	0.741 oz	15 mL
1 US fluid ounce	42 g	1.481 oz	30 mL
1/4 US cup	84 g	2.963 oz	60 mL
1/3 US cup	112 g	3.951 oz	80 mL
1/2 US cup	168 g	5.926 oz	120 mL
1 US cup	336 g	11.852 oz	240 mL
1 metric cup	350 g	12.346 oz	250 mL
1 imperial cup	397.6 g	14.024 oz	284 mL

Weight versus volume: One ounce of honey by weight is not the same as one fluid ounce of honey. In this chart, 1 US fluid ounce of honey is approximately 42 grams, while 1 ounce by weight is 28.35 grams.

How to Convert Honey Measurements

Convert grams to cups

Cups = Grams ÷ Grams per Cup

Example: 250 g honey ÷ 336 = 0.744 US cups.

Convert cups to grams

Grams = Cups × Grams per Cup

Example: 1.5 US cups honey × 336 = 504 grams.

For dry weight conversions, 1 ounce = approximately 28.35 grams and 1 pound = approximately 453.59 grams. Using the practical US kitchen volume relationships on this page, 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 240 milliliters.

US Cups, Metric Cups and Imperial Cups for Honey

Recipes may use different cup sizes depending on their country of origin. Because honey is dense, even a small change in cup volume changes the gram amount noticeably.

Honey cup-size comparison
Cup Standard	Cup Volume Used	Approx. Honey Weight	When It May Appear
US culinary cup	240 mL	336 g	American recipes
Metric cup	250 mL	350 g	Australian and metric-cup recipes
Imperial cup	284 mL	397.6 g	Some older UK or Commonwealth references

Metric and imperial cup results are calculated by scaling from the stated 336 g per 240 mL liquid-honey standard. Different honeys can vary slightly with moisture content and temperature.

How to Measure Honey Accurately

Honey is thick and sticky, which can make volume measurements inconvenient and leave some honey behind in a cup or spoon. For the most accurate result, use a kitchen scale and weigh honey directly into the mixing bowl.

Use a scale for the cleanest measurement. Place your mixing bowl on the scale, tare it to zero and add the required grams of honey directly into the bowl.

Measure liquid honey for volume conversions. Crystallized or very cold honey does not settle into a spoon or cup as evenly as pourable honey.

Lightly coat the measuring tool when appropriate. For recipes that already include oil, a light coating of that oil on the cup or spoon can help honey release more cleanly.

Scrape the cup or spoon fully. When measuring by volume, scrape remaining honey into the recipe so the actual amount is as close as possible to the intended quantity.

Liquid Honey

The calculator’s volume conversions are intended for pourable liquid honey. This is the most practical state for cup, tablespoon, teaspoon and milliliter measurements.

Crystallized Honey

Crystallization does not mean honey has spoiled, but crystals and trapped air can make volume measurement less consistent. Weighing in grams avoids that issue.

Using Honey in Recipes

Baking and Cooking

Weighing: grams are easiest for scaling batches and limiting sticky cleanup.
Mixing: warm, fluid honey incorporates more easily into liquids and batters.
Substitution: replacing granulated sugar with honey may require recipe adjustments because honey adds liquid and flavor.

Portions and Serving Sizes

1 teaspoon: approximately 7 grams of honey.
1 tablespoon: approximately 21 grams of honey.
1/4 cup: approximately 84 grams of honey.
1 cup: approximately 336 grams of honey.

Frequently Asked Honey Conversion Questions

How many cups is 100 grams of honey?

Using the page standard of 336 grams per US cup, 100 grams of honey is approximately 0.2976 US cups, or about 4.76 tablespoons.

How many grams are in 1 cup of honey?

This chart uses 336 grams per US cup of liquid honey. A metric cup of honey is approximately 350 grams, while an imperial cup is approximately 397.6 grams using the same density basis.

How much does 1 tablespoon of honey weigh?

One US tablespoon of honey weighs approximately 21 grams, or about 0.741 ounces by weight.

How many tablespoons is 1/4 cup of honey?

One-quarter US cup equals 4 US tablespoons, which is approximately 84 grams of honey using this page’s standard.

Is an ounce of honey the same as a fluid ounce?

No. An ounce by weight measures mass, while a fluid ounce measures volume. This page estimates that 1 US fluid ounce of honey weighs approximately 42 grams; 1 ounce by weight is only 28.35 grams.

Does raw honey use a different conversion than regular honey?

Moisture content and temperature can create small differences among honeys. For ordinary recipe conversions, this page uses one consistent liquid-honey standard. For maximum accuracy, especially with thick or crystallized honey, weigh it in grams.

Can I substitute honey for sugar using this chart?

This chart converts honey measurements only. Honey adds both sweetness and liquid to a recipe, so substituting it for granulated sugar may also require adjustments to liquid, browning or baking conditions.

Conversion Methodology

This converter uses 1 US tablespoon of honey = 21 grams as the ingredient reference. Since a US culinary cup equals 16 tablespoons, the default honey standard is 1 US cup = 336 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 stated US-cup basis.

Accuracy note: Honey volume conversions are practical recipe estimates. Natural differences in moisture content, temperature and crystallization can affect how honey pours and settles into a volume measure. When precision matters, weigh honey in grams.
