One US cup of milk (whole) is about 244 g (fats & liquids); a tablespoon is about 15.2 g and 100 g is about 0.41 cups. Convert any amount below.
Reference weight: USDA FoodData. Source checked 14 August 2026; cup-to-weight results remain approximate because packing and product density vary.
Weight uses milk (whole)'s real density. Volume↔volume and weight↔weight are exact for any ingredient; cup→gram uses a cited reference weight (packing and cup size vary by ±5%).
Note: Density ≈ 1.03 g/ml; skim milk is a touch heavier, cream lighter.

Why weigh milk (whole) instead of measuring cups?
A cup measures volume, but recipes really care about how much milk (whole) you add by weight. One US cup of milk (whole) is taken as 244 g here, cited from USDA FoodData, and every conversion on this page routes through that figure. Volume-to-volume and weight-to-weight steps are exact, but the cup→gram crossing depends on product form and how the milk (whole) is packed, so a kitchen scale is the reliable way to hit the same result every time.
