Enter fresh volume per dried volume.

Formula

dried volume=fresh volume/supplied equivalence ratio.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Flavor-equivalence ratio is an input, not a physical density conversion. Herb variety, storage and preparation affect flavor.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Fresh herb volume: 3 tsp
  • Fresh volume per dried volume: 3

At a chosen 3:1 fresh-to-dried volume equivalence, three teaspoons fresh becomes one teaspoon dried.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter fresh herb volume, fresh volume per dried volume. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

dried volume=fresh volume/supplied equivalence ratio.. Flavor-equivalence ratio is an input, not a physical density conversion. Herb variety, storage and preparation affect flavor.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
