Comparing the actual value of packaged food often comes down to cost per serving rather than the total package price, especially when different brands package the same product in different container sizes with different serving counts.
This simple calculator divides a package's total price by its number of servings, giving the per-serving cost that makes comparing similar products across different pack sizes straightforward.
Check the nutrition label for the official "servings per container" figure, since packages sometimes contain more or fewer servings than a quick glance at the size might suggest.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find servings per container?
It's listed at the top of the standard nutrition facts label on the package, usually printed as "servings per container".
Is a lower cost per serving always the better deal?
