Overview & Methodology
This Recipe Cost Calculator determines the total cost of a recipe by multiplying each ingredient's quantity by its unit cost and then summing the results:
$$ \text{Total Cost} = \sum (\text{Quantity} \times \text{Cost per Unit}) $$
The cost per serving is then calculated as:
$$ \text{Cost per Serving} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Servings}} $$
This tool helps home cooks and food bloggers budget their recipes and adjust serving sizes as needed.
Example
Suppose you have a recipe with a total ingredient cost of €20 and you want to serve 4 people. The tool will display:
Total Recipe Cost = €20
Cost per Serving = €20 / 4 = €5 per serving.
