Teaspoons & Tablespoons Converter

Enter an amount and choose the unit you're starting from to see it converted into the other three common U.S. volume units.

How this works

U.S. teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, and fluid ounces all relate by fixed ratios: 1 tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons, 1 fluid ounce equals 2 tablespoons, and 1 cup equals 16 tablespoons (48 teaspoons). This calculator converts your entered amount into teaspoons internally, then converts that figure back out to all four units.

Source: Based on standard U.S. customary volume equivalents (1 tbsp = 3 tsp, 1 cup = 16 tbsp) as published by the USDA and standard U.S. cookbook references.
