How It Works

Enter the price and quantity (weight, count, volume) for one or two items. We divide Price by Quantity to find the Unit Rate.

Worked Examples

$5.00 for 10 oz vs $8.00 for 20 oz

Item A Rate:5 / 10= $0.50 / oz
Item B Rate:8 / 20= $0.40 / oz
Winner:Item B is cheaper= Save $0.10/oz

Tips & Best Practices

  • Make sure both items use the same units (e.g., both in ounces) for a fair comparison.
  • Bulk isn't always cheaper!
