From: | To: |
The Price Per 100ml calculation helps consumers compare the true cost of products that come in different sizes. It standardizes the price to a common unit (100ml) for easy comparison between different products or package sizes.
The calculator uses the following simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula divides the total price by the total volume to get price per ml, then multiplies by 100 to get price per 100ml.
Details: Calculating price per 100ml is essential for smart shopping as it allows you to compare products of different sizes objectively. Larger packages aren't always better value!
Tips: Enter the total price of the item (including any discounts) and its total volume in milliliters. The calculator will show you the standardized price per 100ml for easy comparison.
Q1: Why calculate price per 100ml instead of just comparing package prices?
A: Different package sizes make direct price comparisons misleading. Standardizing to 100ml gives a true cost comparison.
Q2: Should I always choose the product with lowest price per 100ml?
A: Not necessarily - also consider quality, your actual usage needs, and whether you'll use it before expiration.
Q3: Does this work for solid products measured by weight?
A: For solid products, you'd want to calculate price per 100g instead of per 100ml.
Q4: How accurate are supermarket unit pricing labels?
A: While generally accurate, it's always good to double-check with your own calculations, especially during sales.
Q5: Can I use this for bulk purchases?
A: Absolutely! This is especially useful when comparing bulk vs regular sizes to determine the best value.
