Where the figure comes from
The weight on this page is from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart, which lists coconut oil as 1/2 cup = 113 g. Scaled to one US cup of 236.59 ml, that is 226 g. Every other number on the page is that figure multiplied or divided.
grams = cups x 226
cups = grams / 226
For example, 1 1/2 cups of coconut oil is 1.5 x 226 = 339 g, and 300 g is 300 / 226 = 1.33 cups.
How coconut oil compares by the cup
A cup measures volume, so its weight depends on what fills it. A cup of coconut oil is the same as a cup of water (227 g). It is 88.3 percent heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (120 g).
Other fats from the same chart, per US cup:

- Vegetable shortening: 184 g, 42 g less than coconut oil
Nutrition in a cup of coconut oil
These figures apply USDA FoodData Central values for oil, coconut to the 226 g cup used on this page.

The two sources do not agree on what a cup weighs. USDA lists a cup of this food at 218 g, which is 8 g less than the 226 g in the baking chart. Products and the way a cup is filled both differ, which is the reason a recipe that gives grams is easier to repeat than one that gives cups. This page uses the baking chart figure throughout.
US cup or metric cup
A US cup is 236.59 ml and a metric cup, used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, is 250 ml. The metric cup is 5.7 percent larger, so it holds 239 g of coconut oil against 226 g. Tablespoons and teaspoons on this page are US spoons. The calculator above has a switch for the cup size.
