Grams to Oz Converter — Grams to Ounces, with Chart

How to convert grams to ounces

Divide the grams by 28.349523125 — the number of grams in one ounce, exact by definition:

ounces = grams ÷ 28.349523125

250 g ÷ 28.349523125 = 8.818490487 oz, or 8.818 oz. Multiplying by 0.03527396 gives the same answer. For the other direction, multiply ounces by 28.349523125, or use the ounces to grams converter, which has a kitchen chart.

The result also shows pounds and kilograms, so you can see at a glance that 500 g (17.64 oz) is more than a pound.

Converting a European recipe

European and British recipes weigh dry ingredients in grams. On a U.S. kitchen scale set to ounces, a typical cake converts like this:

Ingredient	Grams	Ounces	Close U.S. amount
Butter	200 g	7.05 oz	1¾ sticks (7 oz)
Flour	250 g	8.82 oz	weigh it — cups vary by how the flour is packed
Sugar	125 g	4.41 oz	weigh it
Chocolate	100 g	3.53 oz	a 3.5 oz bar

A U.S. stick of butter is 4 oz (113.4 g), so 200 g is not quite two sticks. Weighing in ounces avoids the guesswork of cups, which measure volume and change with how an ingredient is scooped.

Shortcuts and their errors

Shortcut	250 g gives	Error
÷ 28.35 (exact to 0.002%)	8.818 oz	—
÷ 28	8.929 oz	+1.2%
÷ 30	8.333 oz	−5.5%

Dividing by 28 is close enough for cooking. Dividing by 30 is easy but makes a kilogram only 33.3 oz instead of 35.3 oz.

Grams, milliliters and fluid ounces

Grams measure weight; milliliters and fluid ounces measure volume. A European recipe that gives milk or oil in ml needs a volume conversion — use milliliters to fluid ounces for those. Grams of flour, sugar or butter convert to ounces of weight here, and a U.S. kitchen scale set to ounces will match.

Frequently asked questions

How many ounces is 100 grams?

3.527 ounces (3.527396195 oz). A 100 g bar or bag is a little over 3½ ounces.

Are grams and milliliters the same?

Only for water. A gram is a weight and a milliliter a volume; 1 mL of water weighs about 1 g, but 1 mL of oil weighs less and 1 mL of honey more. For liquids measured in milliliters, convert to fluid ounces instead.
