How much is a stick of butter?
A standard US stick of butter weighs 113 grams (4 ounces) and equals 1/2 cup or 8 tablespoons. This calculator uses that standard to convert any amount of butter between sticks, cups, tablespoons, grams and ounces.
Why butter measurements vary
US butter sticks are pre-marked with tablespoon lines, which makes measuring easy, but recipes from other countries usually list butter by weight in grams instead. Converting correctly matters most in baking, where the ratio of fat to flour affects texture.
- 1 stick = 1/2 cup = 8 tbsp = 113 g = 4 oz
- 2 sticks = 1 cup = 226 g
- 1 tbsp butter ≈ 14.2 g
