Alcohol Dilution Calculator

If you are asking how much water to add to dilute alcohol, this calculator gives you a fast estimate.

The Alcohol Dilution Calculator helps you estimate the final volume and the amount of water required when diluting alcohol from one ABV to another.

Formula

  • finalVolumeOz = (currentVolumeOz × currentAbv) ÷ targetAbv
  • waterToAddOz = finalVolumeOz − currentVolumeOz

Example

Diluting 16 oz at 40% ABV down to 25% ABV gives:

  • finalVolume = 25.6 oz
  • water to add = 9.6 oz
