Assumptions and limitations

  • Use one currency throughout. Ingredient prices must match the displayed mass, volume or count unit; delivery uses a per-distance rate. This estimates costs, excluding profit margin, taxes and fees unless you add them explicitly.

Common questions

What does this estimate assume?

Use one currency throughout. Ingredient prices must match the displayed mass, volume or count unit; delivery uses a per-distance rate. This estimates costs, excluding profit margin, taxes and fees unless you add them explicitly.

How should I enter a different quantity?

Choose the displayed measurement units before entering a value. Clear the unknown field, enter compatible known values, and use the preserved inverse branches where available. One-way estimates and rounded package outputs keep their original direction.
