> Convert millilitres (mL) to tablespoons (US) (tbsp): 1 millilitre = 0.067628045 tbsp, so multiply by 0.067628045 or divide by 14.786765. Both fields are editable, so you can also type in tablespoons (US) and get millilitres back.

## Inputs

- Millilitres (mL)

## Results

- Tablespoons (US)

## Formula

```
1 mL = 0.067628045 tbsp
1 tbsp = 14.786765 mL
tbsp = mL × 0.067628045
```

## Explanation

A U.S. tablespoon is about 14.79 mL; the metric tablespoon used in many countries is 15 mL and the Australian one 20 mL. This converter uses the U.S. tablespoon.

### How to use the mL to Tablespoons Converter

- Type the number of millilitres into the **Millilitres** field. Decimals such as 7.5 are fine.
- Read the answer in **Tablespoons (US)** – it updates as you type, with no button to press.
- To convert the other way, type into **Tablespoons (US)** and the millilitres are recalculated.
- Press **Copy results** to copy both values with the page title, or **Copy link** to share this exact conversion.

This page converts only mL ⇄ tbsp. Need a different unit? Use the general volume converter, where you can choose any “from” and “to” unit.

### How it works

Both units measure volume, so they are always in the same ratio: one millilitre equals 0.067628045 tablespoons (US). The calculator multiplies the number of millilitres you type by 0.067628045 to give tablespoons (US), and when you type into the tablespoons (US) field it divides by the same factor to give millilitres. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the millilitres always doubles the tablespoons (US). Results are calculated at full precision and rounded only for display (up to eight decimal places, with very large or small values shown in scientific notation).

### How to convert millilitres to tablespoons (US)

- Write down the value in millilitres, for example **15 mL**.
- Multiply by the conversion factor 0.067628045 (because 1 millilitre = 0.067628045 tbsp).
- 15 × 0.067628045 = **1.0144207 tbsp**.
- To go back from tablespoons (US) to millilitres, divide by 0.067628045 – or multiply by 14.786765.
