Formula and example

How it is calculated

Cost per serving = (ingredients + other costs) / servings

Worked example

€12 ingredients and €3 other costs gives €2.50 per serving for six servings.

Things to check

  • Include labour, energy and packaging under other costs if appropriate. Selling price and taxes are not included automatically.
  • Use one currency consistently. Examples use euros; the calculation works with any currency.
