About this calculator

A US butter stick is the standard packaged size: 4 oz = 113 g = ½ cup = 8 tbsp. Two sticks = 1 cup, four sticks = 1 lb (most US butter is sold in 1-lb 4-stick boxes). Wrappers usually have tbsp markings printed every ½ tbsp — the easiest way to measure butter without unwrapping. EU butter often comes in 250g blocks (~2.2 sticks). Be careful with European butter conversions in recipes assuming sticks.

Frequently asked

Mostly a US-only thing. UK and EU sell 250g blocks. Australia: 250g. Sticks are a US convenience.
