Drops to ml Calculator – Convert Drops to Milliliters

20 drops are equals to a ml, this drops to ml calculator is useful for converting between drops of liquid and milliliters, which is particularly important in medical and pharmaceutical contexts.

20 drops ≈ 1 ml

Let’s say a medication prescription states: “Take 15 drops three times a day.“

To convert this to ml: 15 drops * (1 ml / 20 drops) = 0.75 ml

So, 15 drops is equivalent to approximately 0.75 ml.

• Input: 15 drops
• Output: 0.75 ml

Drop to Milliliter Conversion Formula

The drop to milliliter conversion formula is:

ml = drops * (ml per drop)

Where “ml per drop” varies depending on the dropper size and liquid properties, but is often approximately 0.05 ml/drop for water-based solutions.

For example, to convert 30 drops to ml: ml = 30 * 0.05 = 1.5 ml

How Many Drops Equal 1 ml?

1 ml ≈ 20 drops

The number of drops in 1 ml depends on the dropper and liquid properties, but for standard medical droppers and water-based solutions:

If a medication requires a 2 ml dose, you would administer approximately 40 drops.

The abbreviation “gtt” stands for “guttae,” which is Latin for “drops.” This is commonly used in medical prescriptions.

For this conversion:

20 drops (gtt) ≈ 1 ml

To convert 60 gtt to ml:

Set up the conversion: 60 gtt (1 ml / *20 gtt)

Calculate: 60 / 20 = 3 ml

60 gtt (drops) is equivalent to 3 ml (milliliters).

This conversion is useful in medical contexts, such as when a prescription is written in drops but needs to be administered using a syringe marked in milliliters. For example, if a medication instructs “take 60 drops orally twice daily,” a healthcare provider or patient could measure this as 3 ml using an oral syringe.
