Newly Added Calculators
Classic 1:1 simple syrup uses equal parts granulated sugar and water by mass. This splits a target batch and shows approximate volumes (water ~1 g/mL; packed sugar volume is approximate).

Field guide
A 1:1 sugar syrup calculator is an online calculator tool that helps you determine the exact amount of granulated sugar and water needed to make simple syrup. The “1:1” means equal parts sugar and water, usually measured by weight for better precision.

A 1:1 sugar syrup calculator is an online calculator tool that helps you determine the exact amount of granulated sugar and water needed to make simple syrup. The “1:1” means equal parts sugar and water, usually measured by weight for better precision.
The 1:1 ratio creates what is commonly called standard simple syrup. It is thinner than rich syrup and blends easily into cold drinks. This makes it the preferred choice for cocktails, iced coffee, tea, and fruit-based beverages where smooth mixing matters. For coffee strength by ratio, see the Coffee Ratio Calculator.
Our calculator asks you about the target total syrup mass (g), and it will give you results like this:
A calculator removes uncertainty. Instead of estimating ingredient amounts, you get precise measurements tailored to your target yield. This saves time, reduces waste, and improves consistency.
It means equal parts sugar and water, usually measured by weight, to create a balanced simple syrup.
You can, but it is less accurate because sugar and water have different densities. Weight measurement is recommended.
It typically yields around 1.5 to 1.7 cups of finished syrup, depending on method and evaporation.
