How to Convert Grams to Milliliters
To convert grams (g) to milliliters (mL), you must divide the weight in grams by the density of the ingredient or material (in g/mL). The formula looks like this:
Milliliters (mL) = Grams (g) ÷ Density (g/mL) Because density represents the concentration of mass in a given volume, a high density value means the same weight takes up a smaller amount of physical space.

| 50 g | 50 mL | 48.5 mL | 58.8 mL |
| 100 g | 100 mL | 97.1 mL | 117.6 mL |
| 250 g | 250 mL | 242.7 mL | 294.1 mL |
| 500 g | 500 mL | 485.4 mL | 588.2 mL |
| 1000 g | 1000 mL | 970.9 mL | 1176.5 mL |

Grams to mL FAQ
How many mL is 1 gram?
For pure water, 1 gram equals exactly 1 mL. For other kitchen ingredients, the volume in mL will vary depending on density. For instance, 1 gram of granulated sugar is approximately 1.18 mL, 1 gram of flour is about 1.89 mL, and 1 gram of honey is about 0.7 mL because honey is denser than water.
Is 100 grams equal to 100 mL?
Only for pure water. For all other substances, you need to use the ingredient's density. For example, 100 grams of milk is about 97.1 mL, 100 grams of flour is about 188.7 mL, and 100 grams of cooking oil is about 108.7 mL.
How do I convert grams to mL manually?
The formula is milliliters = grams ÷ density. You look up the density of your ingredient in g/mL, and divide the grams by that density. For example, to convert 250 grams of granulated sugar: 250 ÷ 0.85 = 294.12 mL.
