US units, metric units, and weight

The values on this page use US customary volume units. A US cup holds 236.6 ml, while a metric cup holds 250 ml — so check which cup your recipe means.

Volume-to-volume conversions are exact. Converting to weight (grams or pounds), however, depends on the ingredient — that is what our ingredient-specific cup-conversion pages are for.

Where volume conversions are used

Volume conversions are everyday kitchen and fuel maths — cups, pints, gallons, litres, and millilitres across US, UK, and metric recipes and pumps.

  • A US gallon is 3.785 litres, but a UK (imperial) gallon is 4.546 litres — about 20% larger.
  • US and UK cups and pints differ too, so always check which system a recipe uses.
  • One litre of water weighs almost exactly one kilogram at room temperature, a handy cross-check.
