Syringe units calculator

U-100 means 100 units per millilitre. Convert between units and mL, and see the draw rendered on a syringe.

On any U-100 insulin syringe, 100 units = 1 mL — so 1 unit = 0.01 mL, regardless of the syringe's size.

The unit-to-mL ratio never changes across U-100 syringe sizes — a 0.3 mL, 0.5 mL, and 1.0 mL syringe all use the same 100-units-per-mL scale; they just hold different maximums. Learn to read the markings.
