Common ratios (per 1 gallon)

Quick reference for a 1 gallon sprayer. For other tank sizes (2 gal, 3 gal, 4 gal, 5 gal), use the calculator above.

Ratio 1 Gallon 2 Gallon 4 Gallon 5 Gallon
1:16 7.53 fl oz 15.06 fl oz 30.12 fl oz 37.65 fl oz
1:32 3.88 fl oz 7.76 fl oz 15.52 fl oz 19.39 fl oz
1:64 1.97 fl oz 3.94 fl oz 7.88 fl oz 9.85 fl oz
1:128 1.0 fl oz 2.0 fl oz 4.0 fl oz 5.0 fl oz

Values are concentrate amounts in fl oz. For mL, tbsp/tsp, and other tank sizes, use the calculator above.

Tip: For 1:X (concentrate:water), concentrate fraction is 1 ÷ (1 + X). The rest is water.

Does this calculator replace pesticide label instructions?

No. This page provides mixing math and unit conversions only. Always follow the product label for approved uses, application rates, timing, and safety guidance.

How the math works

For a ratio written as 1:X (concentrate:water), the concentrate fraction of the final mix is 1 ÷ (1 + X). Multiply that fraction by your total sprayer volume to get concentrate. The remaining volume is water.
