When it comes in handy

Cooking and baking

Convert millilitres to cups, or tablespoons to millilitres, when a recipe uses units your measuring set does not.

US and UK measures

Switch between US and UK gallons and pints, which are not the same size, to avoid a costly mix-up.

Fuel and fluids

Convert litres to gallons for fuel, or for any container measured in the other system.

Frequently asked questions

Is a US gallon the same as a UK gallon?
No, and the difference is large. A US gallon is about 3.785 litres, while a UK (imperial) gallon is about 4.546 litres, roughly 20 percent bigger. US and UK pints and fluid ounces differ too, so always check which system a figure uses before converting.
How many millilitres are in a cup?
A US cup is about 237 millilitres. Cups vary by country, though: a metric cup is 250 millilitres and other regions differ, so a recipe that calls for cups is worth checking against the converter rather than assuming.
How many tablespoons are in a cup?
A US cup holds 16 tablespoons, and a tablespoon is 3 teaspoons, so a cup is 48 teaspoons. These kitchen ratios stay the same whatever the ingredient, which is why they are useful for scaling a recipe up or down.
