Milliliters to US cups converter

Read a quantity in mL, then express the same volume in US cup. The units are defined below to avoid mixing similarly named standards.

≈ 0.00422675283773 US cup

Up to 12 significant digits are displayed; floating-point results are approximate. No value is saved.

Direct example

1 mL ≈ 0.00422675283773 US cup.

Formula and calculation

US cup = mL × 0.00422675283773

Substituting 1 mL gives approximately 0.00422675283773 US cup. Definitions use the constants above; arithmetic uses browser floating point and displays at most 12 significant digits. The rounded table is not an instrument calibration or certified measurement.

Which units does this page use?

milliliters: one thousandth of a litre.

US cups: US customary cup: 8 US fluid ounces; not the 240 mL nutrition-label or 250 mL metric cup.

When this direction is useful

Start here when your source record uses mL for small liquid volumes; not dosage advice, but the receiving specification is expressed in US cup for US customary recipe volumes. Enter the original quantity rather than reusing a previously rounded result. If your source uses US cup, use the reverse converter instead.

Limits and interpretation

These are non-negative physical quantities; negative inputs are rejected. Converting a unit changes neither the measured object nor the original precision. Use a decimal dot; grouping commas are not accepted. No external rates, live data or account are involved.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert the other way?

Yes. Convert US cups to milliliters with the inverse equation. Rounding a result before converting it back can introduce a small difference.

Are these the same as every similarly named unit?

No. Check the two definitions above. International length, avoirdupois mass, US customary liquid measures and temperature readings are explicitly distinguished; an ambiguous label on a source document must be resolved first.

Where do the conversion definitions come from?

They use SI and defined customary conversion relationships. See the NIST Guide for the Use of SI. Output formatting is this tool's display policy, not extra measurement accuracy.
