In short
One us cup of granulated sugar is 7.0547923899 ounce. Going the other way, one ounce is 0.1417476156 us cup. That works out at 2 us cup = 14.1095847798 ounce and 4 = 28.2191695597. The figure comes from granulated sugar weighing 200 g per US cup — a generic cups-to-grams converter assumes water and will give you the wrong answer here, because volume to weight depends entirely on what is in the cup.

About the Cups to Ounces — Granulated Sugar
Granulated sugar is one of the few dry ingredients where scooping is fine — the crystals do not compact meaningfully, so the cup weight is consistent however you fill it. That is why sugar measurements vary far less between recipes than flour measurements do. Caster and superfine sugar weigh very close to the same per cup; the crystal size differs, not the density. The figure this page works from is 200 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting us cup to ounce for granulated sugar, the amounts that come up most often are: 1/4 us cup = 1.76 ounce; 1/3 us cup = 2.35 ounce; 1/2 us cup = 3.53 ounce; 2/3 us cup = 4.7 ounce; 3/4 us cup = 5.29 ounce; 1 us cup = 7.05 ounce; 1 1/2 us cup = 10.6 ounce; 2 us cup = 14.1 ounce; 3 us cup = 21.2 ounce.
What people use it for
- Following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures.
- Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error.
- Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups.

The maths behind it
This tool uses ounce = us cup × 7.0547923899, derived from granulated sugar weighing 200 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Granulated sugar is one of the few dry ingredients where scooping is fine — the crystals do not compact meaningfully, so the cup weight is consistent however you fill it. That is why sugar measurements vary far less between recipes than flour measurements do.
Where this tool stops
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent.
Frequently asked questions
Does caster sugar weigh the same as granulated?
Near enough. Caster is granulated sugar ground finer, so a cup lands within a few grams. Use the same weight and expect it to dissolve faster, which is exactly why caster is preferred in meringues and creamed batters.
Why does a cup of granulated sugar not weigh the same as a cup of water?
Because a cup measures volume and a scale measures weight, and the two only agree for water. Granulated sugar has its own density — 200 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
Barely at all, and granulated sugar is one of the few dry ingredients you can genuinely scoop. The crystals are hard and roughly uniform, so they do not compress — a cup lands near 200 g however you fill it. That consistency is why sugar quantities vary far less between recipes than flour quantities do.
Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and an old UK cup is 284 ml. These pages use the US cup, because that is what US recipes mean.
Does the Cups to Ounces — Granulated Sugar cost anything?
No charge and no sign-up. There is no free tier to run out of because there is no paid tier — inputtesthub.com is funded by advertising rather than by metering the page.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The Cups to Ounces — Granulated Sugar runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input never reaches inputtesthub.com or any third party — open your browser's Network tab while you use it and you will see no request go out.
Can I check the maths myself?
It uses ounce = us cup × 7.0547923899, derived from granulated sugar weighing 200 g per US cup. The full working is printed under the result, so you can follow every step rather than trusting a black box.
Can you show an example?
Enter 2 us cup of granulated sugar and the Cups to Ounces — Granulated Sugar returns 14.1095847798 ounce.
When would I actually need the Cups to Ounces — Granulated Sugar?
In practice it gets used for three things: following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures. Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error. Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
When is the Cups to Ounces — Granulated Sugar not the right tool?
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
Which values should I know?
1 US cup of granulated sugar is 200 g. 1 US cup is 7.0547923899 Ounce. 1 Ounce is 0.1417476156 US cup. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
How precise is the result?
The calculation runs in double precision and the result is shown to ten significant figures, so converting a value and converting it back returns the original. What is displayed is rounded for readability; what is copied is not.
