Butter is one of those ingredients that everyone uses but the measurements can get confusing fast.

This is your complete butter conversion guide. It includes butter cups to grams, ounces and sticks, all in one place. I’ve also made a free printable butter conversion chart so you can keep it in your kitchen for quick reference.

Why Butter Is Measured This Way
Butter packaging differs depending on where you live.
- In the US butter usually comes in sticks, with markings for tablespoons.
- In Europe & most other countries, butter is sold in 200g or 250 g blocks and measured by weight.
- Measuring butter by weight (grams or ounces) is always more precise, but cup and stick measurements work perfectly for everyday cooking and baking.
