How Much Is 20.4 Grams of Soy Sauce in Milliliters?
20.4 grams of soy sauce equals 18.93 ml. Soy sauce has a density of 255g per cup. Because grams measure weight and milliliters measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 20.4 grams of soy sauce
- 1 cup of soy sauce = 255g
- 20.4g ÷ 255g/cup = 0.08 cups × 236.588 = 18.93 milliliters
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Milliliter?
Milliliters measure volume and are used worldwide for cooking and baking. For water at room temperature, 1 ml weighs approximately 1 gram, but this relationship does not hold for other ingredients.
