| From: | To: |
Price per weight is a calculation that helps consumers compare the value of products sold by weight. It shows how much you're paying for each unit of weight (per kilogram or per gram), making it easier to compare products of different sizes and prices.
The calculator uses a simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation divides the total price by the weight to determine how much you're paying per unit of weight. For grams, it automatically converts to price per kilogram and also shows price per 100g for easier comparison.
Details: Calculating price per weight helps consumers make informed purchasing decisions by comparing the true cost of products regardless of package size. It's particularly useful when comparing different brands or package sizes of the same product.
Tips: Enter the price in GBP, the weight in either kilograms or grams (select the appropriate unit), and click calculate. The calculator will show the price per kilogram and, if grams were entered, also the price per 100 grams.
Q1: Why calculate price per weight?
A: It allows for accurate comparison between products of different sizes and prices, helping you identify the best value for money.
Q2: Should I always choose the product with the lowest price per weight?
A: Not necessarily. Consider quality, brand preference, and whether you'll use the entire quantity before it expires.
Q3: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but remember that package weights can sometimes vary slightly from what's stated.
Q4: Does this work for liquid products sold by volume?
A: This calculator is designed for products sold by weight. For liquids, you'd need a price per volume calculator.
Q5: Can I use this for bulk purchases?
A: Yes, this calculator is particularly useful for comparing bulk purchases versus smaller packages.
