How to Use the Price Per Unit Calculator
Enter the price and quantity for each package being compared, using the same unit for both — the calculator shows each package's price per unit, making the better value immediately clear, even when the total prices and package sizes are quite different from each other.
The Price Per Unit Calculator handles the comparison math directly — here's how to use it correctly.
Entering price and quantity for each package
For each package being compared, enter its total price and quantity — using the same unit for both entries is essential, as covered in the guide on comparing mismatched units; converting one package's quantity first if the two are labeled in different units.
Reading and comparing the results
The calculator shows each package's price per unit side by side — the lower number represents the better value per unit, regardless of which package has the higher or lower total price.
