How to convert us cups to kilograms

1 cup = 0.2 kg, so multiply by 0.2 to go from US cups to kilograms of granulated sugar. Going the other way, 1 kg = 5 cup.

kg = cup × 0.2
cup = kg × 5

Cups and spoons convert to weight using the weight per cup for granulated sugar shown in the result; how the ingredient is measured (spooned, packed, sifted) changes it.

Worked example:

5 cup = 1182.9411825 mL
× 0.845351 g/mL (USDA FDC 169655, 1 cup = 200 g) = 1000 g
= 1 kg
