Recipe Cost Calculator
Work out cost per serving and a menu price for any dish.
About the Recipe Cost Calculator
Add each ingredient with the price and size of the pack you buy and the amount you use. You get the total recipe cost, the cost per serving and a suggested selling price for your target food-cost percentage.
Tips for best results
- Use the same unit for pack size and amount used on each line.
- Restaurants often aim for a food cost of 28–35% of the menu price.
- Add a line for oil, gas and packaging for a truer cost.
