About the Grocery Cost Per Serving Calculator

Breaking a grocery item's total price down into cost per serving makes it easy to compare value across brands and package sizes, and to budget for meals made up of several servings.

Formula: Cost per Serving = Total Price ÷ Total Servings; Cost per Meal = Cost per Serving × Servings per Meal

Useful for meal planning on a budget or comparing the real cost of feeding a household versus eating out.
