📖 About Cups to Oz
Culinary Liquid Metrology & NIST SP 811 Standards
A US Customary Fluid Ounce is defined as 1/128 of a US liquid gallon (29.5735 mL), and a US Cup equals exactly 8 fluid ounces.
Primary Kitchen Liquid Equivalents
- 1 Cup: = 8 fl oz = 16 Tbsp = 48 tsp = 236.59 mL
- 3/4 Cup: = 6 fl oz = 12 Tbsp = 177.44 mL
- 1/2 Cup: = 4 fl oz = 8 Tbsp = 118.29 mL
- 1/3 Cup: = 2.67 fl oz = 5 Tbsp + 1 tsp = 78.86 mL
- 1/4 Cup: = 2 fl oz = 4 Tbsp = 59.15 mL
International Cup Standards
- US Customary Cup: 8.0 fl oz = 236.59 mL
- US Legal / Nutrition Cup: 8.12 fl oz = 240.0 mL
- Metric Cup: 8.45 fl oz = 250.0 mL
- UK Imperial Cup: 10 UK fl oz = 284.13 mL
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Volume Value to Convert (e.g. 2.50), Conversion Direction — choose from Cups to Fluid Ounces (cups → fl oz), Fluid Ounces to Cups (fl oz → cups), and Cup Measurement Standard — choose from US Customary Cup (8.0 fl oz = 236.59 mL), US Legal / Nutrition Cup (240.0 mL = 8.12 fl oz), Metric Cup (250.0 mL = 8.45 fl oz). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.

Understanding Your Result
Unit conversion precision: round to the same number of significant figures as your original measurement. Converting 6 feet to meters gives 1.8288 m — but if your measurement was approximate (±1 inch), expressing more than 2 decimal places is false precision. For international trade and technical specifications, SI units (meters, kilograms, liters) are the standard. US customary units (feet, pounds, gallons) differ from Imperial UK units: 1 US gallon = 3.785 L vs. 1 UK gallon = 4.546 L.
