Butter, salted
Salted butter contains added salt acting as a preservative and flavor enhancer. While great for spreading on toast, using it in baking can be risky if the recipe calls for unsalted, as you cannot remove the salt. Our calculator converts the weight precisely so you can substitute confidently by reducing other added salt.

How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Butter, salted has a density of 0.959 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 10 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Butter, salted so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.
