Conversion factors are exact definitions, not approximations.
How the volume calculation works
Volume conversions are exact for metric units but ambiguous for imperial ones, because US and UK measures share names with different sizes. A US gallon is 3.785 litres; an imperial gallon is 4.546 litres — about 20% more.
Cooking measures are US customary in this tool: 1 cup is 236.6 ml, 1 tablespoon is 14.79 ml and 1 teaspoon is 4.93 ml. Australian tablespoons are 20 ml, so recipes can differ.

Volume FAQs
Is a US pint the same as a UK pint?
No. A US pint is 473 ml; a UK pint is 568 ml. The same applies to gallons and fluid ounces.
How many ml are in a cup?
236.6 ml in the US, and 250 ml in the metric cup used in Australia and parts of Europe. British recipes often use 250 ml too.
How do I convert a recipe between cups and grams?
You cannot do it exactly without knowing the ingredient, because a cup measures volume and grams measure mass. A cup of flour is about 120 g; a cup of sugar about 200 g.
