Where the figure comes from
The weight on this page is from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart, which lists honey as 1 tablespoon = 21 g. Scaled to one US cup of 236.59 ml, that is 336 g. Every other number on the page is that figure multiplied or divided.
grams = cups x 336
cups = grams / 336
For example, 1 1/2 cups of honey is 1.5 x 336 = 504 g, and 300 g is 300 / 336 = 0.89 cups.
How honey compares by the cup
A cup measures volume, so its weight depends on what fills it. A cup of honey is 48 percent heavier than a cup of water (227 g). It is 180 percent heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour (120 g).
Other sugars and syrups from the same chart, per US cup:
- Molasses: 340 g, 4 g more than honey
- Maple syrup: 312 g, 24 g less than honey
- Corn syrup: 312 g, 24 g less than honey
- Brown sugar, packed: 213 g, 123 g less than honey
- Granulated sugar: 198 g, 138 g less than honey
- Powdered sugar, unsifted: 113 g, 223 g less than honey
Nutrition in a cup of honey
These figures apply USDA FoodData Central values for honey to the 336 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 339 g, which is 3 g more than the 336 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 355 g of honey against 336 g. Tablespoons and teaspoons on this page are US spoons. The calculator above has a switch for the cup size.
