How many cups is 200g of butter?
200g of butter is
¾ cup + 2 tbsp
That's 0.88 US cups, 0.83 metric cups, or 14 level tablespoons.
Worked out from 1 US cup = 227g. Cups are rounded to the nearest kitchen fraction, with what's left over in level tablespoons. If you have scales, weighing is more accurate.
Salted and unsalted butter weigh the same. One US stick is 8 tablespoons, or half a cup.

Where these numbers come from
USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 01145: “Butter, without salt”. USDA lists these household measures for it:
- 1 pat (1" sq, 1/3" high) = 5g
- 1 tbsp = 14.2g
- 1 cup = 227g
- 1 stick = 113g
Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. The teaspoon is a third of the tablespoon. Metric-cup figures assume a 250ml cup, and Australian tablespoons hold 20ml. Weights under 10g are rounded to 0.1g, everything else to the nearest gram. Full source list.
