mL to oz Converter (750 mL in Ounces)

To convert milliliters to ounces (US fluid ounces), divide by 29.574. 750 mL is 25.36 fl oz, 500 mL is 16.91 fl oz and 100 mL is 3.38 fl oz. For UK (imperial) fluid ounces, divide by 28.413 instead. One US fluid ounce is 29.57 mL.

Convert milliliters to ounces (US or UK fluid ounces), plus liters, cups, tablespoons, teaspoons and 1.5 oz shots. Pick any unit on either side; the page link keeps your conversion. Jump to a common answer: 5 mL, 1 mL, 30 mL, 50 mL, 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 liter.

How it's calculated

The US fluid ounce is defined from the US gallon: 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches = 3,785.411784 mL, and 1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces (NIST Handbook 44, Appendix C). The UK fluid ounce is 1/20 of the imperial pint of 568.26125 mL (UK Weights and Measures Act 1985, Schedule 1).

• US fl oz = mL ÷ 29.5735295625
• UK fl oz = mL ÷ 28.4130625
• mL = US fl oz × 29.5735

Other US kitchen units follow from the same table: 1 cup = 8 fl oz, 1 tablespoon = ½ fl oz, 1 teaspoon = ⅓ tablespoon, 1 pint = 16 fl oz, 1 quart = 32 fl oz.

Worked examples

1. A 750 mL bottle of wine

750 ÷ 29.5735 = 25.36 US fl oz. At 1.5 fl oz per shot, that is 16.9 shots; at NIAAA's 5 fl oz standard glass of 12% wine, 5.1 glasses.

2. Is my 120 mL bottle allowed in carry-on?

120 ÷ 29.5735 = 4.06 US fl oz. TSA's limit is 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) per item, so a 120 mL bottle is over the limit (medications and infant nourishment are exempt).

3. A recipe asks for 250 mL of milk

250 ÷ 29.5735 = 8.45 US fl oz, or 1.06 US cups — just over 1 cup. In tablespoons that is 16.9.

Milliliters to ounces: common answers

Each answer below is US fluid ounces first, then UK (imperial) fluid ounces, computed from the exact factors above.

5 mL to oz

5 mL = 0.169 US fl oz (0.176 UK fl oz). It is the size of a medicine-dose teaspoon: NIST rounds a measuring teaspoon to 5 mL, and FDA nutrition labels define a teaspoon as 5 mL. The exact US teaspoon is 4.929 mL. Six 5 mL doses make 1.01 fl oz, about one ounce. A query like "5.0 ml to oz" gives the same answer.

1 mL to oz

1 mL = 0.0338 US fl oz (0.0352 UK fl oz). Turned around, 1 US fluid ounce is 29.5735 mL. One mL is also exactly 1 cc (cubic centimeter).

30 mL to oz

30 mL = 1.01 US fl oz (1.06 UK fl oz). A label reading "1 fl oz (30 mL)" is using the FDA's nutrition-labeling rule, which treats 1 fl oz as 30 mL. The exact ounce is 29.57 mL, so the label figure is 1.4% high.

50 mL to oz

50 mL = 1.69 US fl oz (1.76 UK fl oz). It is the smallest spirits bottle size in the standards of fill listed in 27 CFR 5.203, and well under TSA's 3.4 oz carry-on limit.

100 mL to oz

100 mL = 3.38 US fl oz (3.52 UK fl oz). TSA rounds this to 3.4 ounces for the carry-on liquids rule.

250 mL to oz

250 mL = 8.45 US fl oz (8.80 UK fl oz), slightly more than one US cup of 8 fl oz. It is exactly one metric cup; see cups to mL for every cup size.

500 mL to oz

500 mL = 16.91 US fl oz (17.60 UK fl oz), a little under 17 oz; rounded to one decimal it is 16.9 fl oz.

1 liter to oz

1 L = 33.81 US fl oz (35.20 UK fl oz). A US quart is 32 fl oz (946.4 mL), so a liter is about 5.7% more than a quart. For larger volumes in gallons, use liters to gallons.

Common bottle sizes in ounces

US federal rules set the bottle sizes ("standards of fill") that spirits and wine may be sold in. They include 50, 100, 187, 375, 700, 750, 1,000 and 1,750 mL for spirits (27 CFR 5.203) and 187, 375, 750, 1,000 and 1,500 mL for wine (27 CFR 4.72).

Standard drinks in mL

NIAAA defines a US standard drink by volume and strength. Each of these contains about 0.6 fl oz of pure alcohol:

• Beer: a 12 oz can at 5% alcohol by volume = 355 mL.
• Wine: a 5 oz glass at 12% = 148 mL.
• Spirits: a 1.5 oz shot at 40% = 44 mL.

So a 750 mL bottle of 12% wine holds about 5.1 standard glasses, and a 750 mL bottle of 40% spirits about 16.9 standard shots. Stronger drinks contain more alcohol per ounce, so these counts only hold at the stated strengths.

Travel-size liquids: 100 mL and 3.4 oz

TSA allows liquids, aerosols, gels, creams and pastes in carry-on bags in containers of 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item, packed in one quart-sized bag per passenger. Medications and infant and child nourishment are exceptions. A container marked in mL passes if it is 100 mL or smaller; one marked in ounces passes at 3.4 oz or less. Common travel sizes convert as follows: 30 mL = 1.01 oz, 50 mL = 1.69 oz, 75 mL = 2.54 oz, 100 mL = 3.38 oz.

Kitchen measures: exact vs nutrition label

FDA nutrition labels use rounded metric equivalents (21 CFR 101.9(b)(5)(viii)). For cooking, the difference rarely matters; for scaling large batches, use the exact figure.

UK pints and fluid ounces

The imperial pint is 568.26 mL and holds 20 UK fl oz, against 16 fl oz in a US pint of 473.18 mL. The imperial fluid ounce is also slightly smaller than the US one (28.41 vs 29.57 mL). Draught beer and cider in the UK are still sold in pint-based measures; a 2011 order added the two-thirds pint (379 mL) to the lawful quantities alongside the half pint and pint.

cc to oz: cubic centimeters are milliliters

A cc, or cubic centimeter (cm³), is exactly one milliliter. NIST Handbook 44 lists 1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter (exactly), so every mL figure on this page is also a cc figure. To convert cc to oz, divide by 29.574; to convert oz to cc, multiply by 29.574. There are 29.57 cc in a US fluid ounce and 28.41 cc in a UK one.

You will mostly see cc on syringes, older medicine labels and engine sizes. For medicines, the Institute for Safe Medication Practices lists "cc" as an error-prone abbreviation, because a handwritten cc can be misread as u (units), and recommends writing mL instead. Engine displacement in cc is a volume too, but nobody converts it to fluid ounces.

mL to tablespoons and teaspoons

A US tablespoon is half a fluid ounce (14.787 mL), and a teaspoon is a third of a tablespoon (4.929 mL). Divide mL by 14.787 for tablespoons or by 4.929 for teaspoons. NIST gives rounded equivalents of 15 mL and 5 mL for the measuring spoons, which is close enough for any recipe.

So 7.5 mL is half a tablespoon (1½ teaspoons), 20 mL is about 1⅓ tablespoons, and 45 mL is 3 tablespoons. For medicine, don't use kitchen spoons: ISMP also flags tsp and tbsp as abbreviations that get mixed up with each other, and recommends metric units such as mL instead.

Fluid ounces vs ounces of weight

"oz" on a food label can mean two different things. A fluid ounce (fl oz) is volume. An ounce (oz) is weight: 1/16 of a pound, or exactly 28.349523125 g (NIST Handbook 44). To change one into the other you need the liquid's density: weight (oz) = mL ÷ 3,785.41 × lb per gallon × 16.

For water the two are close: 1 US fl oz of water weighs about 1.043 oz. For other liquids they drift apart. A 750 mL bottle holds 25.36 fl oz whatever is in it, but the contents weigh 26.4 oz as water, 24.4 oz as vegetable oil and 37.4 oz as honey. Open "Weight in ounces" in the converter to see this for any volume and liquid, with a chart comparing them. The densities come from the weight per gallon calculator. For dry ingredients measured by the spoon, use the grams to teaspoons converter; for ounces of weight (not volume), use oz to grams.

Common mistakes

• Mixing up fluid ounces and ounces. A fluid ounce is volume; an ounce is weight. To turn a volume into a weight you need the density; the weight per gallon calculator does this for water, fuels and other liquids.
• Using US ounces for a UK recipe. Older British recipes use imperial fl oz and 20 oz pints. The error is about 4% per ounce but 20% per pint.
• Taking label values as exact. "1 cup (240 mL)" on a label is rounded; a US cup is 236.59 mL.
• Converting a rounded number again. If you round 750 mL to 25 oz and then convert back, you get 739 mL. Keep the original figure and convert once.
• Assuming 100 mL is exactly 3.4 oz. It is 3.38 oz. TSA's 3.4 oz figure is its own rounding of 100 mL.
