How many grams in a cup of flour?
There are 120 grams in a cup of all-purpose flour.
Flour is the ingredient where the cup fails hardest: scooping straight from the bag compacts it and can add 20% over the same cup spooned in and levelled. That is the difference between a tender crumb and a dry one, which is why bakers who weigh their flour rarely go back. To convert several quantities at once, use cups of flour to grams.
Weight based on 120 g per cup of all-purpose flour, from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams are in 1 cup?
There are 120 g in 1 cup of all-purpose flour. The table on this page lists the everyday amounts, and the calculator converts any value the moment you type it. That figure is specific to all-purpose flour: cups measure volume and grams measure weight, so a lighter or denser ingredient gives a different number.
How do you convert cups to grams?
To convert cups to grams, enter the amount in the cups box and the grams result appears instantly; type in either box to convert both ways. Because all-purpose flour is measured by volume but weighed in grams, this uses all-purpose flour's density of 120 g per cup from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart. The conversion table above covers 0.25 to 3 cups if you would rather read a value off than type one. Nothing is rounded until the result is displayed, so part-amounts convert as exactly as whole ones.
Is this cups to grams converter free?
Yes — this cups to grams converter is completely free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many conversions you run. Every calculation runs locally in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded. For every unit and ingredient in one place, use the full cooking and baking converter.
Does the ingredient change the cups to grams result?
Yes — the ingredient changes the cups to grams result, because volume and weight are not the same quantity. On the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart a cup of all-purpose flour weighs 120 g, a cup of granulated sugar weighs 198 g and a cup of old-fashioned oats weighs 89 g — one volume, three very different weights. This page is set to all-purpose flour at 120 g per cup. Never reuse one ingredient's figure for another.
