Pints to Milliliters Converter

What is a pints to milliliters converter?

A pints to milliliters converter is an online tool that translates a volume expressed in US liquid pints (pt) into milliliters (mL), the standard metric unit used across most of the world. Pints are common in American recipes and beverage measurements, while milliliters dominate metric kitchens, laboratories, and nutrition labels. This converter bridges the two so you can follow any recipe or specification without manual arithmetic.

Each field also offers liters (L) as an alternate unit, letting you read the same quantity in larger metric increments when that is more convenient.

Formula

One US liquid pint equals exactly 473.176 milliliters. The conversion is a simple multiplication:

$\text{Milliliters} = \text{Pints} \times 473.176$

To go the other way, divide milliliters by the same factor:

$\text{Pints} = \frac{\text{Milliliters}}{473.176}$

How to convert pints to milliliters

1. Enter the number of US pints in the pints field.
2. Multiply that value by 473.176 to obtain milliliters.
3. Read the result in the milliliters field, or switch either field to liters for a metric-scaled view.

The converter updates both directions automatically, so typing a value in the milliliters field instead yields the equivalent number of pints.

Worked examples

Example 1: 1 pint to milliliters

$1 \times 473.176 = 473.176 \text{ mL}$

So 1 US pint is 473.176 milliliters.

Example 2: 1000 milliliters to pints

$\frac{1000}{473.176} \approx 2.11338 \text{ pt}$

So 1000 milliliters (1 liter) is about 2.11338 US pints.

FAQ

Is a US pint the same as a UK pint?

No. A US liquid pint is 473.176 mL, while a UK (imperial) pint is 568.261 mL. This converter uses the US liquid pint by default, so check which standard your recipe expects.

How many milliliters are in half a US pint?

Half a US pint is 473.176 ÷ 2 ≈ 236.588 mL, which is roughly one US cup.
