In short One millilitre of butter is 0.9594728942 gram. Going the other way, one gram is 1.0422389273 millilitre. That works out at 2 millilitre = 1.9189457883 gram and 4 = 3.8378915767. The figure comes from butter weighing 227 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 Millilitres to Grams — Butter

Butter is far easier to weigh than to measure by volume, and US recipes know it — a stick is a quarter pound, so half a cup, which is why they are printed with tablespoon marks on the wrapper. Cup measuring only makes sense for softened butter pressed into the cup with no air pockets. One US stick is 113 g, half a cup, or 8 tablespoons. European blocks are usually 250 g. The figure this page works from is 227 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting millilitre to gram for butter, the amounts that come up most often are: 25 millilitre = 24 gram; 50 millilitre = 48 gram; 75 millilitre = 72 gram; 100 millilitre = 95.9 gram; 150 millilitre = 144 gram; 200 millilitre = 192 gram; 250 millilitre = 24 gram; 500 millilitre = 48 gram; 1000 millilitre = 959 gram.

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 gram = millilitre × 0.9594728942, derived from butter weighing 227 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.

Butter is far easier to weigh than to measure by volume, and US recipes know it — a stick is a quarter pound, so half a cup, which is why they are printed with tablespoon marks on the wrapper. Cup measuring only makes sense for softened butter pressed into the cup with no air pockets.

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

How many sticks is a cup of butter?
Two. One stick is half a cup, 113 g, 8 tablespoons or 4 ounces. If you have a European 250 g block instead, a cup is a little under 91% of it — weighing is genuinely quicker than the arithmetic.
Why does a cup of 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. Butter has its own density — 227 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
Only if you insist on measuring it by volume, which is the harder path. Softened butter pressed into a cup with no air pockets gives the 227 g here; anything short of that traps air and under-measures. US sticks exist precisely to avoid this — one stick is half a cup, 113 g, printed on the wrapper.
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.

Who is the Millilitres to Grams — Butter for?
The most common reasons people reach for it: 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.
Where does the Millilitres to Grams — Butter stop being reliable?
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.
What are the key numbers for the Millilitres to Grams — Butter?
1 US cup of butter is 227 g. 1 Millilitre is 0.9594728942 Gram. 1 Gram is 1.0422389273 Millilitre. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
Is the number rounded?
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.
