You won't find the quantity of salt on the label, only that the butter is
salted. However many of the major butter producers do indicate the salt levels
in their products on their website. But generally the range is about 3/4 tsp
per 1/4 lb. When cooking with salted butter omit 1/2 tsp salt from the recipe
for each 1/4lb used. I never buy salted butter, the salt obscures the butter
flavor. I detest salted butter on toasted bread, and especially on pancakes.
