The g to oz Formula
One ounce (avoirdupois) is defined as exactly 28.349523125 grams. The inverse gives the conversion factor for grams to ounces.
Example: 200 g × 0.035274 = 7.055 oz
You can also divide by 28.3495: oz = g ÷ 28.3495. Both give the same result.

Avoirdupois vs Troy Ounce
Not all ounces are the same. The conversions on this page use the avoirdupois ounce (28.3495 g) — the standard for food, postal weights, and everyday goods. Precious metals (gold, silver, platinum) use the troy ounce (31.1035 g), which is about 10% heavier.
| Grams | Avoirdupois oz (food/everyday) | Troy oz (precious metals) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 g | 0.03527 oz | 0.03215 troy oz |
| 10 g | 0.353 oz | 0.3215 troy oz |
| 28.35 g | 1.000 oz | 0.9115 troy oz |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many ounces is 100 grams?
100 grams equals 3.527 ounces. This is the standard nutrition label serving size in many countries — when a European food label says "per 100 g", that's about 3½ US ounces. Formula: 100 × 0.035274 = 3.527 oz.
How many ounces is 200 grams?
200 grams equals 7.055 ounces. This is a common steak or fish fillet portion size in European recipes. Formula: 200 × 0.035274 = 7.055 oz.
How many ounces is 500 grams?
500 grams equals 17.637 ounces, or just over 1 pound 1½ oz. Half a kilogram is a very common EU food packaging size (pasta, minced meat, flour). In US terms, it's a little over 1.1 lbs.
Is 28 grams equal to 1 ounce?
Close — 1 ounce is exactly 28.3495 grams, so 28 g ≈ 0.988 oz, just under a full ounce. The "28 grams = 1 oz" shortcut is widely used in cooking and is accurate enough for everyday purposes. For precise measurement, use 28.35 g.
How many grams are in 8 ounces?
8 ounces equals 226.796 grams (usually rounded to 227 g). 8 oz is also ½ pound, and it's the standard US butter package size — one stick of butter is 4 oz (113 g); a US block of cream cheese is also typically 8 oz (227 g).
What is the difference between grams and ounces?
Grams are the base unit of mass in the metric (SI) system, used globally for food labelling, cooking, and science. Ounces (avoirdupois) are part of the imperial system, used primarily in the United States for everyday weight. One ounce is approximately 28.35 grams; one gram is about 0.0353 ounces. Neither is more "accurate" — they are simply different units measuring the same thing.
