How to Convert Tablespoons to Milliliters

To convert a measurement in tablespoons to a measurement in milliliters, multiply the volume by the following conversion ratio: 14.786765 milliliters/tablespoon.

Since one tablespoon is equal to 14.786765 milliliters, you can use this simple formula to convert:

milliliters = tablespoons × 14.786765

The volume in milliliters is equal to the volume in tablespoons multiplied by 14.786765.

For example, here's how to convert 5 tablespoons to milliliters using the formula above.

milliliters = (5 tbsp × 14.786765) = 73.933824 mL

How Many Milliliters Are in a Tablespoon?

There are 14.786765 milliliters in a tablespoon, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

Tablespoons and milliliters are both units used to measure volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.

What Is a Tablespoon?

A tablespoon is a unit of volume equal to three teaspoons or ½ fluid ounce.[1] One tablespoon is equal to 14.7868 milliliters, but for nutrition labeling, one tablespoon is rounded to 15 milliliters.[2]

The tablespoon is a US customary unit of volume. Tablespoons can be abbreviated as tbsp, and are also sometimes abbreviated as T, Tbls, or Tb. For example, 1 tablespoon can be written as 1 tbsp, 1 T, 1 Tbls, or 1 Tb.

What Is a Milliliter?

The milliliter is a unit of volume equal to 1 cubic centimeter, 1/1,000 of a liter, or about 0.061 cubic inches.[3]

The milliliter is an SI unit of volume in the metric system. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for thousandths, or 10-3. A milliliter is sometimes also referred to as a millilitre. Milliliters can be abbreviated as mL, and are also sometimes abbreviated as ml or mℓ. For example, 1 milliliter can be written as 1 mL, 1 ml, or 1 mℓ.

Since one milliliter is equivalent to one cubic centimeter, milliliters are sometimes expressed using the abbreviation for a cubic centimeter (cc) for things such as medical dosages or engine displacements.
