> Convert millilitres (mL) to cubic centimetres (cm³ (cc)): 1 millilitre = 1 cm³ (cc), so multiply by 1 or divide by 1. Both fields are editable, so you can also type in cubic centimetres and get millilitres back.

## Inputs

- Millilitres (mL)

## Results

- Cubic centimetres

## Formula

```
1 mL = 1 cm³ (cc)
1 cm³ (cc) = 1 mL
cm³ (cc) = mL × 1
```

## Explanation

Millilitres and cubic centimetres are identical: 1 mL = 1 cc. Hospitals still often say cc for injections and fluids.

### How to use the mL to cc Converter

- Type the number of millilitres into the **Millilitres** field. Decimals such as 2.5 are fine.
- Read the answer in **Cubic centimetres** – it updates as you type, with no button to press.
- To convert the other way, type into **Cubic centimetres** 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 ⇄ cm³ (cc). 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 1 cubic centimetres. The calculator multiplies the number of millilitres you type by 1 to give cubic centimetres, and when you type into the cubic centimetres field it divides by the same factor to give millilitres. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the millilitres always doubles the cubic centimetres. 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 cubic centimetres

- Write down the value in millilitres, for example **5 mL**.
- Multiply by the conversion factor 1 (because 1 millilitre = 1 cm³ (cc)).
- 5 × 1 = **5 cm³ (cc)**.
- To go back from cubic centimetres to millilitres, divide by 1 – or multiply by 1.

### What is a millilitre?

A millilitre is one thousandth of a litre and exactly one cubic centimetre. Medicines, cosmetics, drinks and kitchen measures are labelled in mL.

### What is a cubic centimetre?

A cubic centimetre (cc) equals one millilitre. Engine displacement and syringe volumes are commonly given in cc.

### Common mistakes to avoid

Mixing u.s. and uk gallons, pints and fluid ounces, assuming a cup is always 250 ml, and treating volume and weight as interchangeable for anything except water.

## Worked example

Inputs — Millilitres: 5 mL.

Results — **Cubic centimetres = 5 cm³ (cc)**.

## FAQ

**Is 10 mL the same as 10 cc?**
Yes.

**How many cc in a tablespoon?**
About 14.79 cc.

**How many cubic centimetres are in one millilitre?**
1 mL = 1 cm³ (cc).

**How many millilitres are in one cubic centimetre?**
1 cm³ (cc) = 1 mL.

**How do I convert millilitres to cubic centimetres?**
Multiply the number of millilitres by 1. For example, 5 mL × 1 = 5 cm³ (cc).

**How do I convert cubic centimetres back to millilitres?**
Divide by 1 (or multiply by 1), or simply type the value into the cubic centimetres field above.

**What is 10 mL in cubic centimetres?**
10 mL = 10 cm³ (cc).

**What is 100 mL in cubic centimetres?**
100 mL = 100 cm³ (cc).

**Is this conversion exact?**
Yes. The factor comes from the official definitions of both units (NIST and the SI), so the only difference you may see is rounding in the last displayed digit.

**Can I convert to other units on this page?**
This page converts only between millilitres and cubic centimetres. To pick any volume unit, use the general volume converter linked under Related calculators.

**What formula does the mL to cc Converter use?**
1 mL = 1 cm³ (cc).
