Coconut Oil Calculator
Formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ 13.6 (approx.).
What Are Grams and Tablespoons?
A gram (g) measures mass; a tablespoon (tbsp) measures volume (~14.7868 mL). Density is required to convert between them.1
Coconut Oil Density and Formula
A typical density for coconut oil is ~0.92 g/mL, yielding ~13.6 g per tablespoon. Temperature can change volume slightly.
tablespoons = grams ÷ 13.6
grams = tablespoons Ã 13.6
General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 Ã density). For ~0.92 g/mL, ≈13.6 g/tbsp.2
Note: Results are approximate. Solid vs liquid coconut oil is a temperature effectâ€â€Âmass remains constant.

Tips for Accurate Measuring
- Weigh for precision: Temperature affects volume, not mass.2
- Level the spoon: For liquid oil, ensure level surface.
- Warm gently: Solid oil can be liquified for easier measuring.
- Store properly: Keep sealed; melting point around 24°C/76°F.
