US Pints to Milliliters Converter (pt to mL)
1 US pint = 473.176473 mL exactly. Convert US pints to milliliters for beer, cream and ice cream, with UK fluid ounces and a mL chart.
Milliliter (mL) = US Pint (pt) × 473.176473
US Pint (pt): A US liquid pint is one eighth of a US gallon: 16 US fluid ounces or exactly 473.176473 mL. It is smaller than the imperial pint, which contains 20 imperial fluid ounces; the two fluid-ounce units also differ.
Milliliter (mL): A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter and exactly the same volume as one cubic centimeter. There are 1,000 microliters in a milliliter and 1,000 milliliters in a liter.
| US Pint (pt) | Milliliter (mL) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 473.176473 |
| 5 | 2365.882365 |
| 10 | 4731.76473 |
| 25 | 11829.411825 |
| 50 | 23658.82365 |
| 100 | 47317.6473 |
A US pint holds 16 US fluid ounces and eight of them make a gallon, so it measures exactly 473.176473 mL. It sizes beer glasses and tall cans, cartons of cream and containers of ice cream, while recipes and labels outside the US, and many brewing and lab specifications, use milliliters.
Travelers notice the difference at the bar: a British pint is 568.26125 mL, about 20% more than an American one, and is made of 20 smaller UK fluid ounces. The first chart therefore adds a UK fluid-ounce column, and the reverse chart includes the 568 mL British pint for comparison.

Formula
Milliliter (mL) = US Pint (pt) × 473.176473
US Pint (pt) = Milliliter (mL) × 0.00211337641887
Both factors come from exact definitions: 1 milliliter = 0.00211337641887 US pints and 1 us pint = 473.176473 milliliters (shown to 12 significant digits).
Example
Two conversions worked with the same factors the converter uses:
1 pt × 473.176473 ≈ 473.176 mL
500 mL × 0.00211337641887 ≈ 1.05669 pt

Quick mental estimate
Call a pint 475 mL: 3 pt → 1,425 mL. The real figure is 1,419.5 mL, so the shortcut is about 0.4% high; for a rougher figure, half a liter per pint is about 6% high.
Use the converter or the charts when the exact figure matters.
The two units
US Pint (pt): A US liquid pint is one eighth of a US gallon: 16 US fluid ounces or exactly 473.176473 mL. It is smaller than the imperial pint, which contains 20 imperial fluid ounces; the two fluid-ounce units also differ.
Milliliter (mL): A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter and exactly the same volume as one cubic centimeter. There are 1,000 microliters in a milliliter and 1,000 milliliters in a liter.
Frequently asked questions
Is a pint of beer the same size in the US and the UK?
No. A US pint is 473 mL and a UK pint 568 mL, so a British pint holds about 20% more. In the UK, draught beer is still served by the pint and half pint, so a pint ordered in a British pub means the larger measure.
Is a pint of blueberries a liquid pint?
No. Berries and cherry tomatoes are sold by the US dry pint of about 551 mL, roughly 16% more than the liquid pint used for drinks. The containers are filled by volume, so the weight inside varies with the fruit.
How many mL is half a pint?
A US half pint is 236.59 mL, the same as one US cup or 8 fl oz. A UK half pint is 284.13 mL.
How precise is the result?
The converter uses the exact definitions above with browser floating-point arithmetic and shows up to 12 significant digits. The charts round to four decimal places for reading.
