A millilitres calculator converts between milliliters (mL) and 30+ volume units including teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, fluid ounces, and liters.
A millilitre (mL) is one-thousandth of a liter and equals exactly 1 cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc). It is the standard unit for measuring small liquid volumes in cooking, medicine, and laboratory science.
A standard teaspoon holds about 5 mL. A tablespoon is about 15 mL. An eyedropper is about 1 mL (20 drops).
Key mL conversions:
= 1 teaspoon = 0.169 fl oz. Standard medicine dose for children.
= 1 fl oz ≈ 2 tablespoons. Standard shot glass size.
= 1.06 cups = 8.45 fl oz. Common measuring cup increment.
= standard wine bottle = 25.36 fl oz = 3.17 cups.

Answers to common questions about the millilitres calculator.
1 teaspoon = 4.929 mL ≈ 5 mL. So 1 mL ≈ 0.2 teaspoons. For medicine dosing, 5 mL = 1 teaspoon is the standard approximation.
Yes, exactly. 1 mL = 1 cm³ = 1 cc. "cc" (cubic centimeter) is commonly used in medicine. A "10 cc syringe" holds 10 mL.
1 US cup = 236.59 mL. 1 metric cup = 250 mL. 1 Imperial cup = 284.13 mL. Use 240 mL as a good approximation for US cups.
Use a measuring spoon: 1 tsp ≈ 5 mL, 1 tbsp ≈ 15 mL. Or a kitchen scale: 1 mL of water = 1 gram. Most liquids are close to water density.
A standard dropper drop ≈ 0.05 mL (about 20 drops per mL). This varies by liquid viscosity and dropper size. Medical droppers are calibrated for specific volumes.
