The formula

How to convert milliliters to tablespoons

To change milliliters into tablespoons, multiply by 0.067628045404.

tablespoons = milliliters × 0.067628045404

Going the other way: milliliters = tablespoons × 14.78676478125

1 milliliter = 0.06762805 tablespoons. This factor does not end, so results on this page are rounded.

Worked example

You have 30 milliliters. Multiply by 0.067628045404. 30 × 0.067628045404 = 2.0288 tbsp.

Before you rely on it

If the recipe is metric, 15 mL is one tablespoon

This page converts to the US customary tablespoon, 14.78676478125 mL, so 15 mL comes out at about 1.01 tbsp rather than exactly 1. That tiny excess is real, but it is smaller than the error in filling any spoon.

Metric recipes from the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Europe define the tablespoon as exactly 15 mL. If your recipe is one of those, just divide the milliliters by 15.

Australian recipes use a 20 mL tablespoon. 60 mL there is 3 tablespoons, not about 4, so check which country a recipe comes from before measuring out oil or sugar.

Tablespoons measure volume, not weight. 15 mL of honey and 15 mL of flour fill the same spoon but weigh very different amounts.
