How to use this tool

  1. Enter package price, quantity in the package.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Unit price = package price ÷ quantity. Repeat with another package after converting its quantity into the same unit.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

A 3 kg package priced at 12 costs 4 per kg. A 500 g package must first be expressed as 0.5 kg for a per-kg comparison.

What to keep in mind

Quantity must be positive. The result does not compare product quality, waste, shipping or promotions unless those costs are included.

Common questions

Can I compare different package sizes?

Yes, provided the quantity uses the same unit for both calculations.

Does a lower unit price always save money?

Not if the larger package causes waste or adds costs not included in the price.
