Measuring step this site recommends: spooned without packing and leveled.
When sources disagree, follow your recipe: use its gram weights if it gives them, or measure the way its author did. The adopted value is one stated convention, not a correction of the other sources.
A comparable source-cup value only scales a half-cup or tablespoon serving to one source cup. When a source does not state the cup's exact volume, we do not present it as a fixed-milliliter normalization.
Measurement notes
- This conversion is only for fine table salt; kosher and flaky salts contain much more air per cup.
- Keep the salt dry, spoon it without compressing, and level the measure.
- Recipes should normally measure salt in teaspoons or grams rather than full cups.
Common mistakes
- Assuming 1 cup of table salt (fine) equals 240g like water — it is actually 288g per US cup.
- Assuming a cup of salt weighs about the same as a cup of sugar, when table salt is much heavier per cup.

Does 1 cup of table salt (fine) weigh the same in a metric cup?

Can I convert cups of table salt (fine) back to grams?
Yes, use the Cups to Grams tool with table salt (fine) selected to convert any cup amount back into grams.
Why does table salt (fine) convert differently from other ingredients?
Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so the conversion depends on how dense table salt (fine) is. A denser or lighter ingredient weighs a different amount per cup.
