Us Cups to Milliliters
A US cup is 8 fluid ounces, about 237 milliliters, the standard American recipe measure for liquids and dry ingredients. A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, equal to one cubic centimeter, used for medicine doses and small liquid measures. 1 cup equals ≈236.588 mL, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to volume, measured here against volume's base unit (L) — every other volume unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
mL = cup × ≈236.588
