How to Convert Cubic Centimeter to Milliliter
- 1 cm³ = 1 mL
- 1 mL = 1 cm³
- Example: convert 15 cm³ to mL: 15 cm³ = 15 × 1 mL = 15 mL
Formula
mL = cm³ × 1
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 cm³ = (0.01 m)³ = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 mL
- 1 mL = 10⁻³ L = 1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³
- 1 cm³ = 0.000001 m³ ÷ 0.000001 m³ per mL = 1 mL
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Cubic Centimeter definition: cubic centimeter; Milliliter definition: milliliter.
Worked examples
- A 125 cm³ engine displaces 125 mL.
125 cm³ × 1 = 125 mL - A 10 cm³ dose is 10 mL.
10 cm³ × 1 = 10 mL

Frequently asked questions
Why do engines use cc?
Engine displacement has traditionally been quoted in cubic centimetres; 1000 cc = 1 L.
How many milliliters are in 1 cubic centimeter?
1 cm³ = 1 mL.
How do I convert cubic centimeters to milliliters?
Multiply the value in cm³ by 1. For example, 15 cm³ × 1 = 15 mL.
Is the cm³ to mL conversion exact?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly, and 1 cm³ is exactly 1 mL.
