Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 244g/cup × 236.588 = milliliters
  1. Start with 6 ounces of milk
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 6 × 28.35 = 170.10g
  3. 1 cup of milk = 244g
  4. 170.10g ÷ 244g/cup = 0.70 cups × 236.588 = 164.93 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 an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Milliliter?

Most kitchen measuring cups outside the US are marked in milliliters. A standard metric cup is 250 ml. When converting American recipes, 1 US cup = 236.588 ml.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 164.93 ml, based on milk having a density of 244g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 244 (grams per cup), then multiply by 236.588 to get milliliters. For 6 ounces: 6 × 28.3495 = 170.10g, then 170.10 ÷ 244 = 0.70 cups × 236.588 = 164.93 ml.
For the most accurate results, weigh milk on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of milk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 164.93 ml ÷ 236.588 = 0.697119 cups, then 0.697119 × 244g/cup = 170.10g, then 170.10g ÷ 28.3495 = 6 ounces. Or use the Milliliters to Ounces converter.
