Enter what you paid and bought, then how much the recipe uses. Add more ingredients and enter your sellable yield.

Ingredient breakdown
Totals use unrounded costs, then display two decimals. Displayed line items may differ from the batch total by one cent. This estimates ingredient costs, not selling price or margin.
Inputs are calculated on this page only. They are not saved to a browser database or sent to ReedBloom. Reloading clears them.
How is it calculated?
Each ingredient costs total paid ÷ quantity purchased × amount used. Add ingredient costs for the batch, then divide by the number of sellable items. Convert within mass (g/kg) or volume (ml/L), not between different kinds of units.
Not a complete selling price
The result includes only ingredients you enter. It excludes packaging, labor, shipping, other overhead, failed batches, selling price, and margin. Convert boxes or packs to grams, milliliters, or pieces before entering them; adjust usable quantities for waste yourself.
