In short
One kilogram of peanut butter is 3.8759689922 us cup. Going the other way, one us cup is 0.258 kilogram. That works out at 2 kilogram = 7.7519379845 us cup and 4 = 15.503875969. The figure comes from peanut butter weighing 258 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 Kilograms to Cups — Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is dense, sticky and nearly impossible to measure cleanly by volume — it traps air pockets going in and leaves a coating behind coming out. Natural peanut butter separates, so the weight per cup depends on how well it was stirred before measuring. Smooth and crunchy weigh close to the same; natural varies more because of oil separation. The figure this page works from is 258 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting kilogram to us cup for peanut butter, the amounts that come up most often are: 1/4 kilogram = 0.969 us cup; 1/2 kilogram = 1.94 us cup; 3/4 kilogram = 2.91 us cup; 1 kilogram = 3.88 us cup; 1 1/2 kilogram = 5.81 us cup; 2 kilogram = 7.75 us cup; 2 1/2 kilogram = 9.69 us cup; 3 kilogram = 11.6 us cup; 5 kilogram = 19.4 us cup.
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 us cup = kilogram × 3.8759689922, derived from peanut butter weighing 258 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Peanut butter is dense, sticky and nearly impossible to measure cleanly by volume — it traps air pockets going in and leaves a coating behind coming out. Natural peanut butter separates, so the weight per cup depends on how well it was stirred before measuring.
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
Is there a trick to measuring peanut butter?
Weigh it straight into the bowl. Failing that, line the cup with cling film or wet it first, and stir natural peanut butter thoroughly so the separated oil is back in suspension before you measure.
Why does a cup of peanut butter 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. Peanut butter has its own density — 258 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
A great deal, because peanut butter traps air unless it is pressed. Spooned in loosely a cup falls well short of the 258 g used here; pressed down with the back of a spoon to remove pockets it reaches it. It is also the messiest thing in the kitchen to measure by volume, which is the strongest argument for weighing it.
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.
