One cup uncooked gives about three cups cooked, feeding three people as a side. The figure this page works from is 185 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database.

The maths behind it
This tool uses us cup = ounce × 0.1532406655, derived from uncooked white rice weighing 185 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
The figure here is uncooked long-grain rice. Cooked rice weighs roughly three times as much per cup because of absorbed water, so a recipe calling for "2 cups rice" means something completely different depending on which it meant — check whether a cooking step follows.
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 this work for basmati and short-grain?
Close enough. Basmati is slightly lighter per cup because the grains are longer and pack less tightly; short-grain and arborio are slightly denser. The spread is under 10 g per cup, well inside normal cooking tolerance.
Why does a cup of uncooked white rice 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. Uncooked white rice has its own density — 185 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
Very little. Uncooked rice grains are hard and roughly uniform, so they settle to about the same 185 g per cup however you fill it — a shake or a level-off changes it by a few grams at most. Rice is one of the safer things to measure by volume.
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 Ounces to Cups — Uncooked White Rice cost anything?

When is the Ounces to Cups — Uncooked White Rice not the right tool?
