How to convert US liquid gallons to cubic meters
US customary, imperial, and metric kitchen measures can have different sizes despite similar names. Use the system printed on your recipe or container.
Use x for the value in US gal, b for the intermediate value in L, and y for the result in m³.
m³ = US gal × 3.785411784 ÷ 1000
Worked examples
10 US gal ≈ 0.03785411784 m³
Step 1: (10 × 3.785411784) ≈ 37.85411784 L.
Step 2: 37.85411784 ÷ 1000 ≈ 0.03785411784 m³.20 US gal ≈ 0.07570823568 m³
Step 1: (20 × 3.785411784) ≈ 75.70823568 L.
Step 2: 75.70823568 ÷ 1000 ≈ 0.07570823568 m³.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About US liquid gallons
A US liquid gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches, or exactly 3.785411784 liters. It is different from an imperial gallon and a US dry gallon.
About Cubic meters

Definitions and sources
Check which gallon, cup, or ounce you mean
A US liquid gallon contains 3.785411784 liters; an imperial gallon contains 4.54609 liters. This calculator labels both explicitly and does not substitute one for the other.
Our US customary cup is 236.5882365 mL. A recipe may instead use a 250 mL metric cup or a 240 mL cup. Fluid ounces measure volume, while ounces in the Weight category measure mass.
For a tank or room, calculate the volume using dimensions in the same length unit before converting its cubic units. Changing only one side’s unit will give an incorrect volume.
Check the cup or fluid-ounce convention before using a converted volume in recipe calculations.
