Calculate and Compare the Price per Amount

Many products can be bought by amount, by number (pieces), weight (e.g. grams or pound) or volume (e.g. liters or pints). With this calculator, the prices of two products can be compared and extrapolated to a certain amount. Please enter at one or both products price and amount. The 100 for the extrapolated amount can be left or changed. The price can be in any currency, like dollars, euros or pounds.

Example: half a liter (500 ml) of a drink costs 3.50 €. One liter (1000 ml) costs 6.50 €. So for 100 milliliters, for the first drink you have to pay 70 cents, for the second drink you have to pay 65 cents. The price difference is -7.14 %, which means, product 2 is 7.14 percent cheaper than product 1.

Another example: a pack of 250 printer paper costs €6.50 in retail. A pallet of similar paper with 100000 pieces costs €580 in wholesale. This means that you pay €26 for 1000 sheets in retail and €5.80 for the same quantity in wholesale. The difference is so big because retail is much more complex. And of course very few people can use a pallet of printer paper for private use.

Extrapolating prices is often helpful in comparing prices when the products are similar or the same but contain different quantities. Things are also often sold cheaper when they are in large quantities. This is the case, for example, with consumer products when there are different product sizes. Even higher discounts are common in the business sector, where large quantities of certain products are required. Here it is the area of warehousing to decide how much of something should be purchased and then stored in stock.
