Milliliters to Fluid Ounces
Convert milliliters to US fluid ounces. 1 ml = 0.033814 fl oz. For recipes, beverage sizes, and product labels.
Tips & Notes
- ✓Common reference: 30 ml ≈ 1 fl oz (exact: 1.014 fl oz). Good enough for most recipes.
- ✓A 750 ml wine bottle = 25.36 fl oz — serves about 5 standard US wine pours (5 fl oz each).
- ✓A 330 ml European beer can ≈ 11.15 fl oz — vs 12 fl oz (355 ml) US standard can.
- ✓For cooking: 15 ml = 1 tablespoon = 0.507 fl oz (just over 1/2 fl oz).
Common Mistakes
- ✗Using 30 ml = 1 fl oz — actual is 29.5735 ml, so 30 ml = 1.014 fl oz (1.4% high).
- ✗Confusing the UK fluid ounce — 1 ml = 0.035195 UK fl oz, slightly different.
- ✗Forgetting that fl oz is volume (not weight) — 30 ml of oil ≠ 30 ml of water in grams.
- ✗Assuming a 33 cl (330 ml) can equals 12 fl oz — it is actually 11.15 fl oz.
