Useful next steps
Compare the same cost basis
Enter the full price and quantity of each package, then the amount used in the recipe. The tool prorates package cost by the used amount and divides the recipe total by servings.
Ranks do not use rounded displays
Recipes rank by exact cost per serving, then exact total cost and recipe name. Changing display decimal places does not change rank.
Entered prices and adjustments
All prices and servings come from your input. No exchange rates are applied. No tax, labour or waste adjustments are added; the entered package price may already include retail tax.
