About this calculator

Volume-to-weight conversions for sugar aren't universal because different sugar types pack differently: a US cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 g, a packed cup of brown sugar weighs closer to 220 g since it's pressed down when measured, and a cup of powdered (icing) sugar weighs only about 120 g because it's much lighter and airier.

This matters most when following recipes written in cups but scaling or weighing ingredients precisely, which professional bakers and anyone converting a US recipe to metric need to do — weighing sugar rather than scooping it is more accurate and more consistent between bakes, and this calculator gives the gram and ounce equivalents for the amount and type you specify.
