Tablespoons to Cups Converter

Kitchen volume made simple

Recipes love to mix units. One line calls for tablespoons of oil, the next wants a cup of broth, and a third lists teaspoons of vanilla. This converter keeps the four most common US volume measures in sync so you never have to stop and do the math mid-recipe. Enter any amount, choose whether it is teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces or cups, and the other three fill in at once.

The ratios it uses

Everything here follows the standard US customary kitchen relationships: 3 teaspoons make 1 tablespoon, 2 tablespoons make 1 fluid ounce, and 16 tablespoons make 1 cup. That also means a cup is 48 teaspoons or 8 fluid ounces. Because every result is derived from the tablespoon, the numbers always stay consistent no matter which unit you type into.

How to use it

1. Type the amount from your recipe into the number box.
2. Pick the matching unit from the dropdown (teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces or cups).
3. Read the four result tiles for the equivalent amounts.
4. Check the summary line for a quick "X = Y cups" readout you can jot down.

Are these US or metric measures?
