How to Convert Teaspoons of Sugar to Ounces
To convert a measurement in teaspoons to a measurement in ounces, multiply the sugar by the following conversion ratio: 0.146975 ounces/teaspoon.
Since one teaspoon of sugar is equal to 0.146975 ounces, you can use this simple formula to convert:
ounces = teaspoons × 0.146975
The sugar in ounces is equal to the sugar in teaspoons multiplied by 0.146975.
How Many Ounces Are in a Teaspoon of Sugar?
There are 0.146975 ounces in a teaspoon of sugar, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 tsp = 0.146975 oz
While experts usually suggest measuring dry ingredients by weight since it's more accurate,[1] some recipes call for ingredients by volume and many of us don't have a scale when we need one. Because the density of different types of sugar vary, it may not be obvious how to convert between a weight and volume measurements.
This table shows the approximate volume measurement for various weights of sugar, by type to help with the conversion.

Should I Measure Sugar by Weight or Volume?
Many experts are adamant that dry ingredients like sugar should be measured by weight instead of volume, especially when used for baking.
The reason is that the density of different sugars vary slightly, so volume measurements will likely yield an incorrect amount of ingredient. Additionally, when using a cup or tablespoon, the amount that the sugar is compressed and above or under the measurement line will alter the actual amount.
This is why most experts suggest using a food scale to measure sugar when cooking, rather than a cup, tablespoon, or other volume measuring devices.
Teaspoons and ounces are both units used to measure sugar. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Teaspoon?
A teaspoon of sugar is equal to 1/3 of a tablespoon. A teaspoon is a measure of sugar volume.
The teaspoon is a US customary unit of volume. Teaspoons can be abbreviated as tsp, and are also sometimes abbreviated as t, ts, or tspn. For example, 1 teaspoon can be written as 1 tsp, 1 t, 1 ts, or 1 tspn.
