How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the mass in milligrams (mg) that you want to convert to teaspoons.
  2. Enter the density of the substance in mg/mL.

    For example:

    • Water: 500 mg/mL
    • Honey: ~1400-1500 mg/mL
    • Table salt: ~900-1000 mg/mL
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to convert the value.
  4. The calculator will display the equivalent volume in teaspoons (tsp).

Understanding the Conversion Formula

The conversion from milligrams to teaspoons uses the following formula:

Tsp = Mass (mg) ÷ (Density (mg/mL) × 4.93)

This formula works because:

  • 1 teaspoon (tsp) is approximately equal to 4.93 milliliters (mL)
  • Milliliters and milligrams are related by density (mg/mL)
  • Therefore, to convert from mg to tsp, you divide the mass in mg by the product of density and the conversion factor (4.93)

Practical Applications

This calculator is particularly useful in:

  • Medication dosing when only milligram measurements are available
  • Converting supplement dosages from milligrams to teaspoon measurements
  • Adjusting recipes that require teaspoon measurements but have ingredient weights in milligrams

Safety Note

For medication and health-related measurements, it's essential to consult with healthcare professionals. This calculator provides approximate conversions and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice.
