Recipe cost calculator
Cost a recipe from pack prices and the quantities you actually use.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
For each row, cost = used quantity ÷ pack quantity × pack price. Keep used and pack quantities in the same unit within a row. Adds ingredient costs and divides by servings. Excludes labour, energy and overheads; up to 200 ingredients.
