How Gram to Teaspoon Salt Calculator Works

1

Enter salt weight in grams

Type how many grams of salt your recipe or dietary plan requires. The WHO recommends less than 5 g of salt per day (about 0.83 tsp).

2

Salt density is applied

Table salt has a density of 1.22 g/mL — denser than most kitchen ingredients. Kosher salt is only 0.58 g/mL due to its larger flake size.

3

See the teaspoon result instantly

Your result updates in real time along with tablespoon, cup, ounce, and milliliter equivalents.

Table salt and kosher salt produce very different teaspoon results for the same gram weight. 6 g of table salt ≈ 1 tsp, while 6 g of kosher salt ≈ 2.1 tsp. Always specify which salt type you are using.

Gram to Teaspoon Salt Calculator Formula

teaspoons = grams ÷ (1.22 × 4.92892)

1.22 is the density of table salt in g/mL. 4.92892 is the volume of one US teaspoon in milliliters.

Reverse formula: grams = teaspoons × 1.22 × 4.92892

Example: 5 g of table salt

1 Density of table salt = 1.22 g/mL
2 tsp = 5 ÷ (1.22 × 4.92892)
3 tsp = 5 ÷ 6.01328
4 tsp ≈ 0.83
5 5 grams of table salt ≈ 0.83 teaspoons
