How many grams are in a cup of ketchup?
A US cup (236.6 ml) of ketchup weighs about 240 grams, spooned. Published charts differ slightly, from 240 to 240 grams, because of how the ingredient is scooped and how finely it is ground or packed. The figure here is the average of two independent sources.

Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of ketchup weighs about 254 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring ketchup accurately
Ketchup is thick and prone to trapping air bubbles when scooped into a dry measuring cup. Tap the filled cup gently against the counter to release trapped pockets before leveling the top. Weighing ketchup directly into your bowl on a scale avoids this issue entirely and simplifies cleanup.
