Grams of flour to cups chart

All-purpose and bread flour, spooned and leveled into US cups, with a measurable amount you can use without a scale.

Grams	All-purpose (120 g/cup)	Measure (all-purpose)	Bread flour (127 g/cup)
30 g	0.25 cup	¼ cup	0.24 cup
50 g	0.42 cup	¼ cup + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp	0.39 cup
100 g	0.83 cup	¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp	0.79 cup
125 g	1.04 cups	1 cup + 2 tsp	0.98 cup
150 g	1.25 cups	1 ¼ cups	1.18 cups
200 g	1.67 cups	1 ½ cups + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp	1.57 cups
250 g	2.08 cups	2 cups + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp	1.97 cups
300 g	2.5 cups	2 ½ cups	2.36 cups
400 g	3.33 cups	3 ¼ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp	3.15 cups
500 g	4.17 cups	4 cups + 2 tbsp + 2 tsp	3.94 cups
1,000 g	8.33 cups	8 ¼ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp	7.87 cups

How the conversion works

cups = grams ÷ grams per cup

Then the decimal is split into amounts you can measure. A US cup holds 16 tablespoons and a tablespoon holds 3 teaspoons, so:

Take the largest whole-plus-quarter cup amount that does not exceed the weight (e.g. 2.08 cups → 2 cups).
Convert the rest to tablespoons: (2.083 − 2) × 16 = 1.33 tbsp.
Split that into whole tablespoons and teaspoons: 1 tbsp + 1 tsp.

With ⅓ and ⅔ cups available the leftover is often smaller: 200 g of all-purpose flour is exactly 1 ⅔ cups.

Tips

Grams per cup differ by flour: 100 g is ¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 tsp of all-purpose flour but just over 1 cup of almond flour.
Measure the leftover tablespoons level, not heaped; a heaped tablespoon can hold twice as much.
European recipes often use plain flour (≈ all-purpose) and strong flour (≈ bread flour).

Frequently asked questions

How many cups is 100 g of flour?

100 g of all-purpose flour is 0.83 cups when spooned and leveled: measure ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon (about 100 g).

How many cups is 250 g of flour?

About 2.08 cups of all-purpose flour, or 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon. 250 g of bread flour is 1.97 cups and 250 g of almond flour is 2.6 cups.

How many cups is 500 g of flour?

500 g of all-purpose flour is about 4.17 cups (4 cups + 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons). 500 g of bread flour is about 3.94 cups.

How much does 1 tablespoon of flour weigh?

A tablespoon is 1/16 cup, so spooned all-purpose flour weighs about 7.5 g per tablespoon and 2.5 g per teaspoon.

Why does the tool add tablespoons instead of just rounding?

Rounding 250 g to 2 cups loses 10 g, about 4% of the flour. Adding the leftover tablespoons gets you within a gram or two, which matters for bread doughs and cakes.

Is it better to weigh flour or use cups?

Weighing is more accurate: how a cup is filled can change its weight by 20% or more. If a recipe gives grams, a scale is the best choice; this converter is for when you don't have one.
