Honey Jar Calculator
Plan exactly how many jars you’ll need from the honey you’ve extracted. This tool uses ml jar sizes, lets you enter honey by weight (metric or imperial), and converts with a fixed honey density of 1.42 g/ml. It’s calibrated to real fills: 190 ml ≈ 230 g and 405 ml ≈ 500 g. Choose your jar size, enter your weight, and get an instant jar count to 1 decimal place (with whole-jar guidance).

Honey Jar Calculator — FAQs
Why are jars in ml but results in grams?
Jars are manufactured by volume (ml), but honey is sold by weight (g). The tool converts using a fixed density of 1.42 g/ml and a calibrated fill factor so results match real bottling.
What calibration is used?
It matches your measurements exactly: 190 ml ≈ 230 g and 405 ml ≈ 500 g. Other sizes interpolate smoothly between those points.
Does it work with imperial weights?
Yes — switch between kg/g and lb/oz using the unit pills. Conversions happen automatically.
How many jars should I order?
We show a decimal jar count and a whole-jar recommendation. To cover drips and handling losses, ordering 1–2 extra jars is sensible.
