Recipe Cost Per Serving
Calculate the ingredient cost of homemade meals from your purchase records. Scale recipes, compare cost per serving and see which prices are missing.
How do I calculate the cost of a recipe per serving?
Enter each recipe ingredient in its stock unit and record the recipe’s serving count. The calculator multiplies each ingredient amount by its latest recorded purchase unit price, adds the known costs and divides by servings. Scaling the servings updates the ingredient amounts and total. Missing prices remain explicitly unknown.
