How to Convert Tablespoons to Ounces

To convert a measurement in tablespoons to a measurement in ounces, divide the butter by the following conversion ratio: 2 tablespoons/ounce.

Since one ounce of butter is equal to 2 tablespoons, you can use this simple formula to convert:

ounces = tablespoons ÷ 2

The butter in ounces is equal to the butter in tablespoons divided by 2.

For example, here's how to convert 5 tablespoons to ounces using the formula above.

ounces = (5 tbsp ÷ 2) = 2.5 oz

How Many Ounces Are in a Tablespoon of Butter?

There are 0.5 ounces in a tablespoon of butter, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 tbsp = 0.5 oz
