1. What is Price per 100g?

The price per 100g is a standardized way to compare the cost of products sold in different quantities. It helps consumers determine which product offers better value for money when package sizes vary.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses this simple formula:

Where:

• Price — The product cost in British Pounds (GBP)
• Weight — The net weight of the product in grams

Explanation: The formula calculates how much 1g costs, then multiplies by 100 to give a standardized comparison metric.

3. Importance of Price Comparison

Details: Comparing prices per 100g helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions, especially when products come in different package sizes. It's particularly useful for grocery shopping where items are often sold in various quantities.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the product price in GBP (e.g., 1.50) and the weight in grams (e.g., 250). The calculator will show you the price per 100g for easy comparison with other products.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why compare prices per 100g instead of just looking at package prices?
A: Different package sizes make direct price comparisons misleading. Price per 100g standardizes the comparison.

Q2: Does this work for liquid products measured in ml?
A: Yes, for water-based liquids where 1ml ≈ 1g, you can use this calculator. For other liquids, check the density.

Q3: Should I always choose the product with lowest price per 100g?
A: Not necessarily. Consider quality, brand preference, and whether you'll use the full quantity before it expires.

Q4: How accurate do my measurements need to be?
A: Use the exact values from product packaging for best results. Estimates will give approximate comparisons.

Q5: Can I use this for bulk purchases?
A: Absolutely. It's particularly useful for comparing value between different bulk sizes.
