Teaspoons to Milliliters Converter

Teaspoons (tsp)	Milliliters (mL)	Reference
0.5 tsp	2.5 mL
1 tsp	5.0 mL	5 mL
1.5 tsp	7.5 mL
2 tsp	10.0 mL
3 tsp	15.0 mL	15 mL
4 tsp	20.0 mL
5 tsp	25.0 mL
6 tsp	30.0 mL

Overview & Capabilities

Converting teaspoons (tsp) to milliliters (mL) is essential for parents, pediatric nurses, and pharmacists dispensing liquid medications and oral pediatric suspensions. In medical and culinary standards, 1 standard metric teaspoon equals exactly 5.0 mL (or 4.929 mL US Customary). When converting a doctor's prescription from teaspoons to an oral syringe marked in milliliters (e.g. 1 tsp equals 5 mL, 0.5 tsp equals 2.5 mL), multiplying teaspoons by 5 gives exact clinical milliliters.

Tutorial

How to Use

01

Enter the medication or recipe dose in Teaspoons (tsp).

02

The engine multiplies by 5.0 (standard medical/metric) or 4.929 (US Customary) to compute Milliliters (mL).

03

Review pediatric syringe presets (0.25 tsp = 1.25 mL, 0.5 tsp = 2.5 mL, 0.75 tsp = 3.75 mL, 1.0 tsp = 5.0 mL, 2.0 tsp = 10.0 mL).

04

Draw the liquid medication up to the designated milliliter line in your oral syringe.
