Gallon Sprayer Mix Calculator
Enter your sprayer size in gallons and a dilution ratio like 1:16, 1:32, or 1:64. Get the exact concentrate amount (in fl oz, mL, plus tbsp/tsp) and how much water to add to fill the tank.
Using a hose end sprayer? These typically use a fixed dilution ratio set by the dial — enter your dial ratio value in the calculator above to get the concentrate amount for your reservoir volume. For full hose end dilution help, see the Oz Per Gallon Calculator.
