Common Examples in the US

Here are some common everyday examples of US fluid ounce (fl oz) measurements people encounter in everyday life:

Drinks & Beverages:

  • Medicine cup = 1 fl oz = 29.57 mL
  • 1 shot = 1.5 fl oz = 44.36 mL
  • Small soda can = 8 fl oz = 237 mL (~1 cup)
  • Standard soda can = 12 fl oz = 354.88 mL
  • A large water bottle = 16.9 fl oz = 500 mL (exact retail size)
  • A venti iced coffee (Starbucks) = 24 fl oz = 710 mL
  • A large soda from a fast-food chain = 32 fl oz = 946 mL (~1 quart)

US fl oz vs UK fl oz—Important!

US fluid ounces and UK (Imperial) fluid ounces are not the same. Don’t mix these up in recipes.

  • US: 1 fl oz = 29.5735 mL
  • UK: 1 fl oz = 28.4131 mL

US fluid ounces are approximately 4% larger (about 1.1604 mL) than a UK fluid ounce.

So, if you use a US measuring cup for a British cake recipe, you are not only using the wrong ounce size but also the wrong amount of ounces per cup.

  • A US recipe calls for 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces.
  • A UK recipe calls for 1 cup = 10 fluid ounces (since their cup is larger).

How to Convert mL to US Fluid Ounces

Converting milliliters (mL) back to US fluid ounces (fl oz) is just as easy—you simply reverse the formula.

US fl oz = mL ÷ 29.5735296

Examples:

  • 237 mL (common juice box) = 237 ÷ 29.57 = 8.01 fl oz (exactly 1 cup)
  • 500 mL (standard water bottle) = 500 ÷ 29.57 = 16.91 fl oz
  • 750 mL (wine bottle) = 750 × 0.0338 = 25.36 fl oz

Important Reminder: This is for US fluid ounces only. Imperial (UK) fluid ounces are different. For anything in the US, always use divide by 29.57.
