Why use this tool?
Use this tool to estimate the entered cost of roast potatoes per serving. Record whether your potato weight includes peel or is ready to roast before choosing a per-serving amount.
How the calculation works
Cost per serving = entered total recipe cost ÷ number of servings. The price is an entered assumption, not a current market price. Include the cost categories you intend to share and use one currency. Use prepared raw weight or finished roasted weight consistently. Peeling, trimming and roasting losses need a separate measured allowance. Decimal quantity arithmetic uses the entered values before display rounding. Quantities use up to six decimal places; smaller nonzero results use scientific notation. Currency uses the selected currency’s minor unit. Inputs and numeric results are bounded by magnitude 9,007,199,254,740,991.
Example
Roast Potatoes example: An assumed total recipe cost of £18 for 8 servings gives £2.25 per serving.
