About the Volume Converter

Volume is the unit family with the most traps, because the United States and the United Kingdom kept different gallons. A US gallon is 3.785 litres while an imperial gallon is 4.546 litres, roughly 20 percent larger, and the pints and fluid ounces built on them differ in the same way. This converter labels every unit with its system so you always know which one you are reading.

Typical uses are comparing fuel economy between countries, scaling drink recipes, working out the capacity of a tank or an aquarium in litres from dimensions given in gallons, and translating bottle sizes. For kitchen work with cups and spoons the dedicated cooking converter has a friendlier unit list.

Frequently asked questions

How many litres are in a US gallon?

Exactly 3.785411784 litres. An imperial (UK) gallon is 4.54609 litres, so a British gallon is about 20 percent bigger than an American one.

How many millilitres are in a cup?

This tool uses the metric cup of 240 ml that appears on US nutrition labels. The legal US customary cup is 236.588 ml and Australian recipes use a 250 ml cup, so check where your recipe comes from.

No. A fluid ounce measures volume, an ounce measures weight. They coincide only for water, where one US fluid ounce weighs about 1.04 ounces.

How do I convert miles per gallon to litres per 100 km?

Divide 235.215 by the US mpg figure. A car doing 30 US mpg uses 7.84 litres per 100 km. Use 282.481 instead for imperial mpg.
