SponsoredThis calculator converts a volume in teaspoons to tablespoons using the exact ratio: divide the teaspoon value by 3. One teaspoon is defined as exactly one 768th of a US gallon, and one tablespoon as exactly one 256th of a gallon, so this conversion carries no rounding at all.
Recipes that build up a total in teaspoons, whether from a nutrition label, a dosing chart, or a scaled-up recipe originally written in small amounts, are often easier to measure out with a tablespoon once the count gets large enough. Converting back to tablespoons avoids counting out a long series of individual teaspoons.
For the reverse direction, converting tablespoons back into teaspoons, or converting a teaspoon value into cups or milliliters instead, see the related converters below.

The Teaspoons to Tablespoons Formula
To convert teaspoons to tablespoons, divide the teaspoon value by 3. For example, 9 teaspoons divided by 3 equals 3 tablespoons.
To go the other way, use the Tablespoons to Teaspoons converter instead, which multiplies by 3 for you. For a teaspoon value that needs to become a metric volume, see the Teaspoons to Milliliters converter below.
How Many Teaspoons Are in a Tablespoon, Exactly?
A US tablespoon holds exactly 3 teaspoons, a ratio fixed by the legal definitions of both units. This is specifically the US customary tablespoon and teaspoon, the units used on US recipes and measuring spoons.
Converting a Teaspoon Count That Is Not a Multiple of 3
Not every teaspoon count converts to a whole number of tablespoons. 5 teaspoons, for example, equals 1.67 tablespoons, awkward to measure directly. In practice, most cooks instead measure 5 teaspoons as "1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons" using a standard set of measuring spoons together, rather than trying to read a fractional tablespoon line.
The Teaspoons to Grams Converter turns teaspoons into grams, using the density of the ingredient you pick. For a tablespoon of flour, sugar, honey, or butter, the Tablespoons to Grams Converter gives its weight in grams. The Cooking Unit Converter handles teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, fluid ounces, and milliliters together, which helps when a recipe switches between them.
