How Gram to Teaspoon Sugar Calculator Works
Enter sugar weight in grams
Type the number of grams from your recipe, nutrition label, or kitchen scale. Common sugar amounts range from 4 g (1 tsp) to 200 g (a full cup).
Sugar density is applied automatically
Granulated sugar has a density of 0.85 g/mL. The calculator uses this value to bridge the gap between weight and volume.
Read your teaspoon result
The teaspoon value appears instantly. You also see tablespoons, cups, ounces, and milliliters for easy cross-referencing.
Granulated sugar, powdered sugar, and brown sugar all have different densities. This calculator defaults to granulated sugar (0.85 g/mL). For powdered sugar use 0.56 g/mL; for packed brown sugar use 0.93 g/mL.
Gram to Teaspoon Sugar Calculator Formula
teaspoons = grams ÷ (0.85 × 4.92892) 0.85 is the density of granulated sugar in g/mL. 4.92892 is the volume of one US teaspoon in milliliters.
grams = teaspoons × 0.85 × 4.92892 Example: 25 g of granulated sugar
