Frequently asked questions

How many deciliters are in 1 milliliter?
1 milliliter equals 0.01 deciliters.
How do I convert milliliters to deciliters?
Multiply the milliliter value by 0.01. So x mL × 0.01 = the equivalent in dL.
What is 5 milliliters in deciliters?
5 milliliters equals 0.05 deciliters.
What is 10 milliliters in deciliters?
10 milliliters equals 0.1 deciliters.
What is 100 milliliters in deciliters?
100 milliliters equals 1 deciliters.
How do I convert back from deciliters to milliliters?
Multiply the deciliter value by 100. For example, 1 dL = 100 mL.
Is the milliliter bigger than the deciliter?
No. 1 milliliter is smaller than 1 deciliter. It takes 100 milliliters to equal 1 deciliter.
Are these conversion factors exact?
The factor is derived directly from the SI definitions of milliliter and deciliter; the displayed value is rounded for readability, and the browser computes using IEEE 754 double-precision arithmetic.

About the milliliter and the deciliter

The milliliter

The milliliter (mL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one-thousandth of a liter, or one cubic centimeter. It is the everyday unit for medication dosing, beverage sizes outside the US, and cooking in most of the world. Note that a US fluid ounce is 29.5735 mL, while a UK fluid ounce is 28.4131 mL.

The deciliter

The deciliter equals exactly one-tenth of a liter (100 mL). It appears on European recipes and nutrition labels, particularly in Scandinavian cooking, as a convenient middle ground between the milliliter and the liter.
