The free recipe calculator built for real kitchens
Whether you're doubling a batch of cookies for a party, halving a soup recipe for one, or trying to figure out how many grams are in a cup of almond flour — this free recipe calculator handles it instantly, without sign-ups or needing an app download.
Convert recipe measurements with ingredient-aware precision
Most recipe converters use a flat conversion rule — but a cup of honey weighs nearly three times as much as a cup of cake flour. This recipe calculator uses density-based conversions for 40+ ingredients, so when you convert cups to grams for butter, bread flour, brown sugar, or oats, the result reflects how that ingredient actually behaves on a kitchen scale. Switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, grams, ounces and millilitres in one click.
Scale any recipe to any serving size
The recipe scaler lets you paste a full ingredient list — fractions, mixed numbers and all — and recalculate every line at once. Use the quick buttons to halve a recipe, double a recipe, or triple it, or enter any custom serving count to scale to exactly what you need. Quantities come back as clean fractions (1/2, 3/4, 1 1/3) rather than awkward decimals, so you can follow the scaled recipe straight from the screen without doing any mental arithmetic.
Estimate calories and nutrition per serving
The built-in recipe nutrition calculator estimates calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat and fibre per serving for recipes made from common baking and cooking staples — flour, sugar, butter, oils, oats, nuts, chocolate chips, dairy and more. Paste your ingredient list, set the number of servings, and get an instant nutrition breakdown you can copy into a meal plan or notes app. Values are estimates based on standard culinary data, suitable for general reference.

How the conversions work
Cups, tablespoons, teaspoons and millilitres all measure volume, so they convert to each other with fixed ratios. Grams and ounces measure weight. To move between volume and weight, the calculator needs to know how heavy one cup of that specific ingredient is.
The fixed ratios
- 1 US cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons
- 1 US cup = 236.588 millilitres
- 1 ounce = 28.35 grams, and 1 pound = 453.59 grams
The ingredient weights
For cups to grams, the tool multiplies the volume by a typical weight per cup for the ingredient you pick. For example, 1 cup of all-purpose flour is treated as 120 g, and 1 cup of honey as 340 g. Going the other way, it divides the weight by that same figure. The table below lists every value the tool uses.
Why results can differ from your kitchen
These are typical figures, not exact ones. A cup of flour can weigh noticeably more if you scoop it straight from the bag than if you spoon it into the cup and level it. Brands, humidity, how finely something is chopped, and how firmly brown sugar is packed all shift the weight too. If a recipe gives gram amounts, use those. A kitchen scale is more accurate than any cup conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the same cup measurement give different gram amounts?
Ingredients have different densities — a cup of flour weighs around 120 grams, a cup of granulated sugar weighs around 200 grams, and a cup of honey weighs around 340 grams. Selecting the specific ingredient ensures accurate baking weight conversions.
Can it handle fractions like "1 1/2 cups"?
Yes — the recipe scaler reads whole numbers, fractions (like 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4), and mixed numbers (like 1 1/2), then outputs the scaled amount as clean, readable fractions whenever possible.
Does it store or log my recipe anywhere?
No. Everything runs directly inside your browser. Nothing you type or paste is saved, uploaded, or transmitted to any server.
How do I halve or double a recipe?
Open the "Scale a recipe" tab, paste your ingredients, and click the "½× (Halve)" or "2× (Double)" quick buttons. The tool calculates every line in seconds.
Can I convert sticks of butter?
Yes! Under the unit dropdown, select "sticks of butter". In the US, 1 stick equals 1/2 cup, 8 tablespoons, 4 ounces, or approximately 113.4 grams.
Can I scale down or divide recipes into smaller batches?
Yes. You can scale down by entering smaller target servings or using the "½×" button to make single or smaller batch portions.
What if an ingredient isn't in the database?
You can choose "Custom ingredient" and provide its density (grams per cup), or leave density blank to convert between volume units (cups to tablespoons) or weight units (grams to ounces).
Can I calculate calories and nutrition for a recipe?
Yes — open the "Nutrition calculator" tab, paste your ingredient list, enter the number of servings and an optional serving size, then click Calculate. The tool estimates calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber per serving. Note: the nutrition calculator currently supports 40+ baking and cooking staples (flour, sugar, butter, oils, dairy, oats, chocolate chips, nuts etc.) — fresh produce and meats are not yet supported.
How accurate is the recipe nutrition calculator?

What is a recipe converter?
A recipe converter (also called a recipe calculator or recipe analyzer) is a tool that converts ingredient measurements between different units — like cups to grams, ounces to milliliters — and adjusts quantities when scaling recipes up or down. This tool does both.
How do I convert recipe ingredients from cups to grams?
Select your ingredient from the list (flour, sugar, butter, etc.), enter the amount in cups, and the tool instantly shows the exact gram equivalent based on that ingredient's actual density. Results also show ounces, tablespoons, teaspoons and milliliters at the same time.
Can I use this as a recipe multiplier?
Yes — the Scale a recipe tab is a full recipe multiplier. Paste your ingredient list, enter your original servings and your target servings, and every ingredient is multiplied or divided automatically. Quick buttons let you multiply by ½×, 2×, or 3× in one click.
How does a nutrition calculator work?
A nutrition calculator matches each ingredient you enter against a database of nutritional values (typically based on USDA data), converts the amount you entered into grams, then multiplies by the nutrition per 100g for that ingredient. The totals for all ingredients are added together and divided by the number of servings to give per-serving estimates for calories, protein, carbs, fat and fiber.
What are nutrition facts and how do I use them?
Nutrition facts are a standardized breakdown of a food's key nutrients — typically calories, total fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, fiber and sodium. For homemade recipes, you can use this tool's Nutrition calculator tab to generate estimated nutrition facts by pasting your ingredient list and setting the number of servings. The results can be copied and used for meal planning, calorie tracking, or sharing with others.
