How the mL → kg conversion works
The calculator converts your input volume to cubic meters, multiplies by density (in kg/m³), then outputs the mass in your chosen unit. Presets for water, milk and cooking oil are included; choose “Other” to enter a custom density such as benzene or glycerin.
How to use the ml to kg calculator
- Select a substance (or “Other” for custom density).
- Enter the volume and unit (mL, L, cm³, m³).
- Pick your desired mass unit (mg, g, or kg).
- Adjust “Decimals” for display precision (default 0).
Common questions
- How many mL is 1 kg? Depends on density: water → 1000 mL; oils commonly 0.915–0.920 g/mL (≈1087–1093 mL per kg); milk ~1.035 g/mL (≈966 mL).
- What is 500 mL in kg? For water ≈ 0.5 kg; multiply volume (L) by density (kg/L).
- Is 1 L equal to 1 kg? Only for water near room temperature.
- How do you convert mL to kg? Mass (kg) = Volume (mL) × Density (g/mL) ÷ 1000.
An example using the ml → kg converter for benzene
Set Substance to Other, enter density 0.8765 g/mL (20 °C), type a volume like 250 mL, and choose kilograms. The result is m = 250 × 0.8765 ÷ 1000 ≈ 0.2191 kg.

Behind the scenes of the ml to kg calculator
The app avoids floating-point surprises by rounding only for display (you control decimal places). Internally it converts units first, then multiplies by density in SI (kg/m³), which keeps results consistent and scalable across units.
