How to Convert Fluid Ounces to Milligrams

To convert a fluid ounce measurement to a milligram measurement, multiply the volume by 29,573.52956 times the density of the ingredient or material.

You can use this simple formula to convert:

milligrams = fluid ounces × 29,573.52956 × ingredient density

Thus, the volume in milligrams is equal to the fluid ounces multiplied by 29,573.52956 times the density of the ingredient or material.

For example, here's how to convert 5 fluid ounces to milligrams for an ingredient with a density of 0.7 g/mL.
5 fl oz = 5 × 29,573.52956 × 0.7 = 103,507.35347 mg

Fluid ounces and milligrams are both commonly used to measure cooking ingredients.

For cooking applications, most chefs suggest measuring dry ingredients by weight rather than volume to improve accuracy in the measurements.[1] The density of dry ingredients can vary for a variety of reasons, such as compaction.

The best way to ensure an accurate conversion is to use a scale. When a scale is not available, a calculator like the one above is a good way to estimate the volume to weight conversion.

Fluid Ounces

The US fluid ounce is a unit of volume equal to 1/16 of a pint or 1/8 of a cup. The fluid ounce is sometimes referred to as an "ounce" but should not be confused with the unit of mass. One fluid ounce is equal to just under 29.6 milliliters, but in nutrition labeling, one fluid ounce is rounded to exactly 30 milliliters.[2]

The fluid ounce is a US customary unit of volume. Fluid ounces can be abbreviated as fl oz, and are also sometimes abbreviated as fl. oz. or oz. fl.. For example, 1 fluid ounce can be written as 1 fl oz, 1 fl. oz., or 1 oz. fl..

Milligrams

The milligram is the mass equal to 1/1,000 of a gram, or 0.0154 grains.

The milligram, or milligramme, is an SI unit of weight in the metric system. In the metric system, "milli" is the prefix for 10-3. Milligrams can be abbreviated as mg; for example, 1 milligram can be written as 1 mg.
