SponsoredThis calculator converts a volume in milliliters to US tablespoons using the exact factor: divide the milliliter value by 14.78676478125. One US tablespoon is defined as exactly one 256th of a US gallon, and one US gallon as exactly 3,785.411784 mL, so this factor carries no rounding at all.
Metric recipes and product labels give quantities in milliliters, and converting back to tablespoons makes it possible to measure with standard US measuring spoons instead of a graduated container. This is one of the more common metric-to-US conversions in home cooking, since tablespoons are a practical everyday unit for many recipe quantities.
For the reverse direction, converting tablespoons back into milliliters, or converting a milliliter value into teaspoons instead, see the related converters below.
Milliliters to Tablespoons Conversion Table
This table covers common metric recipe measurements.
| Milliliters | Tablespoons |
|---|---|
| 15 ml | 1.0144 tbsp |
| 30 ml | 2.0288 tbsp |
| 45 ml | 3.0433 tbsp |
| 60 ml | 4.0577 tbsp |
| 75 ml | 5.0721 tbsp |
| 100 ml | 6.7628 tbsp |
| 120 ml | 8.1154 tbsp |
| 150 ml | 10.1442 tbsp |
| 250 ml | 16.907 tbsp |
The Milliliters to Tablespoons Formula
To convert milliliters to tablespoons, divide the milliliter value by 14.78676478125. For example, 30 mL divided by 14.78676478125 equals approximately 2.03 tablespoons.
To go the other way, use the Tablespoons to Milliliters converter instead, which multiplies by the same factor for you. For a milliliter value that needs to become teaspoons, see the Milliliters to Teaspoons converter below.
Why 15 mL Does Not Convert to Exactly 1 Tablespoon
Nutrition labeling and many recipe conversion charts treat 15 mL as "1 tablespoon" for convenience, but the exact US customary tablespoon is 14.78676478125 mL, meaning 15 mL is actually closer to 1.014 tablespoons. This small gap rarely matters for a single tablespoon, but it compounds noticeably once a recipe calls for many tablespoons of a liquid ingredient.
Which Figure This Calculator Uses
This calculator uses the exact 14.78676478125 mL customary value throughout, the more precise choice for scaling a recipe accurately. A recipe or dosing chart that specifically calls for the rounded 15 mL figure is using an intentionally simplified, officially-sanctioned approximation instead, not an error.
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. For ingredients measured by the spoon, the Tablespoons to Grams Converter gives the weight of a tablespoon of water, milk, flour, sugar, honey, or butter. To go from a weight to a volume, the Grams to Milliliters Converter uses the density of water, milk, flour, sugar, honey, or butter.
