To calculate ml in a dropper, first, fill the dropper with the liquid and squeeze it out into a measuring container to see how much the dropper holds. This is often listed on the bottle or dropper as 'ml per drop' or 'drops per ml'. If not, you can fill the dropper and count the number of drops it takes to reach 1 ml in a measuring container, assuming you have one available. Divide 1 by the number of drops to get the amount in ml per drop. Repeat this process a few times for accuracy and calculate the average.
