Egg Weight & Volume Converter
Convert eggs to grams, ounces, milliliters, or tablespoons — or work backward from a weight of liquid egg to find out how many eggs it equals. Choose a size and part below; every field updates the others automatically.
All weights are for egg out of the shell (edible portion only). Shell adds roughly 12% to whole-egg weight — see the table below for in-shell figures.
Egg Weight Reference (In-Shell vs Edible Portion)
| Size | In-Shell (g) | Edible Whole (g) | White (g) | Yolk (g) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 43g | 38g | 25g | 13g |
| Medium | 50g | 44g | 29g | 15g |
| Large | 57g | 50g | 33g | 17g |
| Extra Large | 64g | 56g | 37g | 19g |
| Jumbo | 71g | 62g | 41g | 21g |
In-shell weights follow USDA egg grading standards (7 CFR 56); edible-portion and white/yolk splits are derived from those figures using standard shell-loss (~12%) and white-to-yolk (~66:34) ratios used across professional baking references. The same in-shell weights are used throughout CookingCalcs, including on the Egg Size Converter.
How to Use This Calculator
Pick your egg size and which part you're measuring (whole egg, white only, or yolk only), then type a number into any one field — eggs, grams, ounces, milliliters, or tablespoons — and the rest fill in automatically. Changing the size or part recalculates everything from whatever you last typed, so you can switch from "large" to "extra large" mid-conversion without starting over. To go in reverse, just start from the grams, ounces, ml, or tbsp field instead of the eggs field: type in a weight or volume of liquid egg and the "Number of Eggs" field tells you what it equals.
Why Grams and Milliliters Are Nearly the Same for Eggs
Whole liquid egg has a density of about 1.03 g/ml — close enough to water (1.00 g/ml) that for kitchen purposes, treating grams and milliliters as equal introduces less than a 3% error. That's why a 50g large egg measures out to roughly 48-50 ml; the small gap comes entirely from that density difference, not from any meaningful volume/weight distinction. This is also why weighing eggs on a kitchen scale is just as accurate as measuring them by volume, and considerably faster when you're working with fractions of an egg.
Going Backward: From a Carton of Liquid Egg to a Number of Eggs
Most egg converters only work in one direction — enter an egg count, get a weight. This one also works the other way: enter a weight or volume of liquid egg (from a carton of egg substitute, leftover beaten egg, or a recipe written in grams) and it tells you how many shell eggs of your chosen size that represents. This matters for recipes that specify liquid egg by weight — common in commercial baking, egg-white-heavy recipes like macarons or meringues, and recipes converted from metric — where "how many eggs is this" isn't obvious from the number alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many ml in one egg?
About 48 ml for one large egg cracked out of the shell (roughly 50g, and egg is close enough to the density of water that grams and milliliters are nearly interchangeable). A medium egg is about 43 ml, and a jumbo egg is about 60 ml.
How many tablespoons in one egg?
About 3 tablespoons for one whole large egg out of the shell. Broken down further, that's roughly 2 tablespoons of white and 1 tablespoon of yolk. Medium eggs are closer to 3 tablespoons as well (just under); jumbo eggs run closer to 4 tablespoons.
How many grams is 4 large eggs?
About 200g cracked out of the shell (4 × 50g). In the shell, 4 large eggs weigh closer to 228g (4 × 57g), since the shell itself is roughly 12% of the total weight.
How do I convert eggs to grams for a recipe?
Multiply the egg count by the shelled weight for your size: about 38g (small), 44g (medium), 50g (large), 56g (extra large), or 62g (jumbo) per whole egg. This matters most when a recipe is written by weight (common in professional and European baking) rather than by egg count.
I have liquid egg — how many eggs does 200g equal?
200g of whole liquid egg equals about 4 large eggs (200 ÷ 50g). This reverse direction — starting from a weight or carton of liquid egg and working out how many shell eggs it represents — is exactly what the calculator on this page is built for.
What is the volume of one egg?
A large egg's edible contents (white plus yolk, no shell) measure about 48 ml, or roughly 3 tablespoons — about 2 tablespoons of white and 1 tablespoon of yolk. The whole egg with shell displaces slightly more, but the edible-volume figure is what matters for recipes.
