4 oz = the classic US butter stick; 16 oz = one pound.

How this is calculated

g = oz × 28.349523125 (exact — avoirdupois ounce)

The scale-and-recipe direction: 4 oz of butter is 113.4 g, an 18 g coffee dose is 0.63 oz, a 1 oz letter is 28.35 g. This page converts WEIGHT ounces (avoirdupois). Fluid ounces — the liquid kind on drink cans — are volume; that is a different page, linked below.

The avoirdupois ounce is a sixteenth of the exactly-defined pound: 0.45359237 kg ÷ 16 = 28.349523125 g, exact to the last digit shown. Troy ounces (precious metals, 31.103 g) are a third system this page deliberately excludes.

Frequently asked questions

How many grams in 1 oz?

28.35 g (exactly 28.349523125). The kitchen shorthand “about 28” is fine for seasoning, and 30 g is a 5.8% overshoot that shows in baking.

Weight oz vs fluid oz — which is this?

Weight. A fluid ounce is volume (29.57 ml) and only equals a weight ounce for water-like liquids. Flour, sugar, and syrup all break the equivalence — convert them by weight.

What is 8 oz in grams?

226.8 g — half a pound. US recipes love 8 oz cream cheese blocks; that is the 227 g on the metric wrapper of the same product.

Is a troy ounce the same?

No — gold and silver trade in troy ounces of 31.1035 g, about 9.7% heavier. If the context is bullion, the number on this page is the wrong one on purpose.
