This dilution ratio calculator will help you accurately mix a concentrated solution with a solvent to achieve your desired concentration.

How To Use The Dilution Ratio Calculator
Input the amount of concentrate you have in milliliters (ml) in the first field. For the dilution ratio, use the format of “1:3” where “1” represents the part of concentrate and “3” represents parts of the solvent you need to add. After filling in both fields, click on the “Calculate” button to get the total amount of solution you will have after dilution.
How It Calculates The Result
The calculator takes the amount of concentrate and divides it by the first number in your dilution ratio. This gives us the amount of solution per part of concentrate. We then multiply that by the sum of the two ratio parts to find the total solution volume.
Limitations
This dilution calculator assumes the dilution ratio is expressed as parts concentrate to parts solvent and that volumes are additive. It does not compensate for temperature changes or differences in density that could affect the final volume.
