SponsoredThis calculator converts a volume in US cups to milliliters using the exact factor: multiply the cup value by 236.5882365. One US cup is defined as exactly one sixteenth of a US gallon, and one US gallon as exactly 3,785.411784 mL, so this factor carries no rounding at all.
Converting a US recipe's cup measurements into milliliters makes it possible to follow the recipe with metric measuring tools, or to compare it against a metric recipe using the same ingredient. This is one of the most common US-to-metric conversions in home cooking.
For the reverse direction, converting milliliters back into cups, or converting a cup value into liters instead, see the related converters below.

| 0.5 cups | 118.29 ml |
| 0.75 cups | 177.44 ml |
| 1 cup | 236.59 ml |

The Cups to Milliliters Formula
To convert cups to milliliters, multiply the cup value by 236.5882365. For example, 1.5 cups times 236.5882365 equals approximately 354.88 mL.
To go the other way, use the Milliliters to Cups converter instead, which divides by the same factor for you. For a cup value that needs to become liters, see the Cups to Liters converter below.
A Note on the Metric Cup
Some countries use a "metric cup" defined as exactly 250 mL, a different, rounder unit than the US customary cup used throughout this page (236.588 mL). A recipe from Australia or New Zealand using metric cups will not match this calculator's ratio, since it is measuring a genuinely different-sized cup.
Nutrition-Label Rounding
US nutrition labeling separately rounds a cup to 240 mL, a third, distinct figure from both the 236.588 mL customary cup and the 250 mL metric cup. This calculator uses the exact customary value throughout.
Baking recipes often give flour or sugar by weight, and the Cups to Grams Converter turns a cup measure into grams for common baking ingredients. Syringes and some medicine cups are marked in cubic centimeters, and the Cubic Centimeters to Milliliters Converter confirms that 1 cc is exactly 1 milliliter. Butter is also sold in sticks, so the Butter Converter switches between cups, sticks, tablespoons, and grams.

Can a cups-to-mL result be negative?
No. A volume can't be below zero, so a negative entry shows a dash instead of a result. A minus sign in front of a value is usually a typing slip.
