What This Calculator Does
The Tablespoons to Teaspoons Converter handles the small-volume conversions that matter in cooking, baking, and medicine. A tablespoon of vanilla or a teaspoon of baking soda can make or break a recipe, and getting the ratio right between these common kitchen measures is straightforward.

One US tablespoon equals exactly 3 US teaspoons. Multiply the number of tablespoons by 3 to get teaspoons. This is an exact ratio with no rounding.
Example
2 tablespoons of olive oil is 6 teaspoons. Half a tablespoon of salt is 1.5 teaspoons. A recipe calling for 4 tablespoons of honey needs 12 teaspoons.
