Conversion Formula
The conversion from milliliters (ml) to tablespoons (tbsp) depends on the relationship between these units. One tablespoon is equal to approximately 14.7868 milliliters. To convert milliliters to tablespoons, you divide the volume value in milliliters by 14.7868.
Formula:
Tablespoons = Milliliters ÷ 14.7868
This works because tablespoons measure volume in a larger unit than milliliters. Dividing by the number of milliliters per tablespoon gives you how many tablespoons fit into the given milliliters.
Example calculation for 10 ml:
10 ml ÷ 14.7868 ≈ 0.6763 tbsp
Conversion Example
- Convert 25 ml to tablespoons:
- Start by using the formula: Tablespoons = ml ÷ 14.7868
- 25 ÷ 14.7868 = 1.6901 tbsp
- So, 25 milliliters equals about 1.6901 tablespoons
- Convert 50 ml to tablespoons:
- Divide 50 by 14.7868
- 50 ÷ 14.7868 = 3.3802 tbsp
- This means 50 ml is approximately 3.3802 tablespoons
- Convert 7.5 ml to tablespoons:
- 7.5 ÷ 14.7868 = 0.5072 tbsp
- Therefore, 7.5 ml equals about 0.5072 tablespoons
- Convert 100 ml to tablespoons:
- 100 ÷ 14.7868 = 6.7604 tbsp
- 100 ml corresponds to roughly 6.7604 tablespoons

Conversion Definitions
Milliliter (ml): A milliliter is a metric unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter. It is often used for measuring small liquid amounts in cooking, pharmacy, and science. One milliliter corresponds to one cubic centimeter (cm³), which is a cube 1 cm on each side.
Tablespoon (tbsp): A tablespoon is a unit of volume commonly used in cooking measurements. In the US customary system, one tablespoon equals approximately 14.7868 milliliters. It is usually abbreviated as tbsp and is larger than a teaspoon but smaller than a fluid ounce.
Conversion FAQs
Why does 10 ml not equal exactly 1 tablespoon?
Because a tablespoon is defined as about 14.7868 milliliters in US measurements, 10 ml is less than one tablespoon. The difference arises from the precise volume definitions between metric and customary units, causing slight mismatches in direct equivalency.
Can I use tablespoons instead of milliliters in recipes?
You can substitute tablespoons for milliliters in cooking, but the accuracy depends on the recipe’s needs. Since a tablespoon is larger than a milliliter, converting small quantities may cause measurement errors if precision is required, such as in baking or medicine.
Are tablespoon sizes the same worldwide?
No, tablespoon sizes vary between countries. For example, the US tablespoon is about 14.7868 ml, while the UK tablespoon is traditionally 15 ml, and Australian tablespoons can be 20 ml. This causes differences when converting volumes internationally.
How to measure 10 ml without a measuring spoon?
If you lack a measuring spoon, you can approximate 10 ml by using two-thirds of a tablespoon (since 1 tbsp ≈ 14.8 ml). Alternatively, a kitchen syringe or a small graduated container can provide a more accurate measure.
Does temperature affect ml to tablespoon conversion?
The conversion between milliliters and tablespoons is a volume-to-volume conversion, so temperature changes don’t affect the relationship itself. However, liquids expand or contract with temperature, so the actual volume might vary slightly in extreme conditions.
