Formula
- 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
- 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.
