Price Per 100g Formula:
| From: | To: |
Price per 100g calculation helps consumers compare the cost efficiency of different products by standardizing the price to a common weight unit (100 grams). This is particularly useful when comparing products sold in different package sizes.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation divides the total price by the weight to get the price per gram, then multiplies by 100 to get the price per 100 grams.
Details: Standardizing prices to a per-100g basis allows for accurate comparison between products of different sizes and prices, helping consumers make informed purchasing decisions and identify the best value for money.
Tips: Enter the total price in Philippine Pesos (₱) and the weight in grams (g). Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero for accurate calculation.
Q1: Why calculate price per 100g instead of using the package price?
A: Package prices can be misleading when comparing different sizes. Price per 100g provides a standardized comparison that reveals the true cost efficiency.
Q2: Can I use this calculator for liquids measured in milliliters?
A: For water-based liquids, 1ml ≈ 1g, so you can use milliliters as grams. For other liquids with different densities, the calculation may not be accurate.
Q3: What if the weight is in kilograms instead of grams?
A: Convert kilograms to grams first (1kg = 1000g) before using the calculator for accurate results.
Q4: Is this calculation useful for bulk purchases?
A: Yes, price per 100g calculation is particularly valuable when comparing bulk purchases to smaller packages to determine if bulk discounts are truly beneficial.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation for price comparison?
A: This calculation provides an accurate standardized price comparison when the products being compared are similar in quality and type.
