Salt Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert salt from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Salt is the most common seasoning in cooking and baking, sharpening flavour and helping control yeast and gluten in bread doughs. One metric cup (250 ml) of fine table salt weighs around 300 grams. Most recipes call for it by the teaspoon, so a quick gram or teaspoon conversion is usually all you need.
Salt crystal size varies a lot: a teaspoon of flaky sea salt weighs far less than a teaspoon of fine table salt, so measuring by weight avoids over- or under-salting. This page converts salt between grams, teaspoons, tablespoons, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are salt and table salt the same thing?
- Yes. Table salt is another name for salt, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A teaspoon of salt weighs 6 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
- How much is a pinch of salt?
- A pinch of salt is about 0.38 grams, 0.01 ounces, or 0.06 teaspoons, taking a pinch as one sixteenth of a teaspoon (about 0.3 ml). A pinch is not a standard measure and varies between cooks, with some using closer to 1/8 teaspoon. For seasoning it is to taste, but weigh small amounts when a bake has to rise or set.
- What is 100g of salt in ounces?
- 100 grams of salt is 3.53 ounces. This is the same for any ingredient, since grams and ounces are both weight units and do not change with what you are weighing. 200 grams is 7.05 ounces and 50 grams is 1.76 ounces. Use the weight converter to switch between grams, ounces, pounds, and kilograms for any amount. Open the weight converter
- How much does a teaspoon of salt weigh?
- 1 teaspoon of salt in grams is 6 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 teaspoons is 12 grams and half a teaspoon is 3 grams. Ingredients like salt are usually measured by the spoon, so this is the amount most recipes call for. See the full teaspoon to grams chart for salt for more. 1 teaspoon salt in grams
