Sources: King Arthur Baking, "Ingredient Weight Chart" (kingarthurbaking.com/learn/ingredient-weight-chart), normalized to 1 US cup; items marked USDA in our data come from USDA FoodData Central household measures. Tablespoon = 1/16 cup, teaspoon = 1/48 cup.
Using King Arthur Baking's weight chart, 1 cup of all-purpose flour is 120 g (about 4.25 oz). Different flours weigh differently, so pick the exact ingredient above.
Cups vary with how you scoop and pack. Grams are consistent, which makes recipes repeatable and makes costing exact, because packages are sold by weight.
Divide the package price by its weight in grams to get cost per gram, then multiply by the grams in one cup. The calculator does this for you; for example a 5 lb bag of flour at $3.49 is about $0.18 per cup.
They are standard reference weights. Your own measuring style can differ by a few percent, so weigh your cup once if you need precision.
