Table salt: Cups to Grams
One US cup of table salt is about 273 g (other staples); a tablespoon is about 17.1 g and 100 g is about 0.366 cups. Convert any amount below.
Reference weight: density ≈ 1.15 g/ml. Source checked 14 August 2026; cup-to-weight results remain approximate because packing and product density vary.
Weight uses table salt's real density. Volume↔volume and weight↔weight are exact for any ingredient; cup→gram uses a cited reference weight (packing and cup size vary by ±5%).
Note: Salt type matters enormously: a cup of coarse kosher or flaky salt can weigh half as much, so never swap by volume.

Why weigh table salt instead of measuring cups?
A cup measures volume, but recipes really care about how much table salt you add by weight. One US cup of table salt is taken as 273 g here, cited from density ≈ 1.15 g/ml, and every conversion on this page routes through that figure. Volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight steps are exact, but the cup→gram crossing depends on product form and how the table salt is packed, so a kitchen scale is the reliable way to hit the same result every time.
FAQ
How many grams are in a cup of table salt?
One US cup of table salt weighs about 273 g (source: density ≈ 1.15 g/ml). Salt type matters enormously: a cup of coarse kosher or flaky salt can weigh half as much, so never swap by volume.
How many grams are in a tablespoon of table salt?
One tablespoon of table salt is about 17.1 g, and one teaspoon about 5.69 g, since a US cup is exactly 16 tablespoons (48 teaspoons).
How much is 100 g of table salt in cups?
100 g of table salt is about 0.366 cups. Use the converter above for any other weight — it works in both directions.
Is the cup-to-gram figure for table salt exact?
The cup weight is a cited reference (density ≈ 1.15 g/ml); volume↔volume and weight↔weight conversions on this page are exact, but the cup→gram step depends on packing, humidity and brand, so it is best treated as ±5%. A kitchen scale removes the guesswork.
