A unit price calculator divides each package price by its quantity, converts compatible measurements to the same unit, and identifies the lower rate. You can compare counts, weights, or volumes even when labels use different units, such as ounces and grams, then see the percentage difference and equivalent-package savings. Use this comparison while shopping in a store, checking an online basket, or reviewing supplier packs. Select one currency for both prices because the tool compares amounts but does not fetch exchange rates. Everything runs in your browser, so product names and prices are not uploaded. ## How to use it 1. **Choose a measurement** - Select item count, weight, or volume, then choose the currency used by both prices. 2. **Enter both packages** - Add each package price, quantity, and label unit. Product names are optional. 3. **Set the comparison unit** - Pick the unit you want to see. Compatible metric and US measurements convert automatically. 4. **Check the better value** - Read both normalized rates, the lower-priced option, percentage difference, and equivalent-package savings. ## Who it's for - **Grocery shoppers** comparing family sizes, multipacks, and sale packages. - **International shoppers** matching ounces with grams or fluid ounces with liters. - **Small businesses** checking supplier packs before restocking consumables. - **Households** deciding whether a bulk package saves enough to justify its size. - **Budget planners** measuring the real difference behind shelf-price promotions. ## Expert note Unit price equals package price divided by package quantity after both quantities are normalized. A 12 oz pack at 4.49 is about 13.20 per kilogram, while 500 g at 6.29 is 12.58 per kilogram, so the second pack is about 4.7% cheaper by weight. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is my shopping data uploaded? No. The comparison runs entirely in your browser. The product names, package sizes, and prices you enter are not sent to a calculation server or stored by this tool. ### Is the unit price calculator free? Yes. You can compare as many package pairs as you need without an account, payment, or download. Use Clear between comparisons or load the example to see how mixed-unit matching works. ### What are the calculator's limits? It compares two options at a time using item count, mass, or volume. Each price may be zero through 1 trillion, while quantities must be greater than zero. It does not compare unlike dimensions or convert currencies. ### How do you calculate unit price? Divide the package price by its quantity in the chosen comparison unit. If a 500 gram package costs 6.29, it contains 0.5 kilograms, so its price is 6.29 divided by 0.5, or 12.58 per kilogram. ### Can I compare ounces with grams or liters with gallons? Yes. Choose Weight for ounces, pounds, grams, and kilograms, or Volume for milliliters, liters, US fluid ounces, quarts, and gallons. The calculator normalizes both package sizes before comparing their rates. ### Should tax, delivery, or coupons be included? Use the amount you will actually pay when those charges differ between options. Add item-specific tax, delivery, or a coupon to the relevant package price. Shared basket charges usually do not help distinguish the packages. ## Related tools - [Discount Calculator](https://candoya.com/tools/discount-calculator/) - [Tip Calculator](https://candoya.com/tools/tip-calculator/) - [Profit Margin Calculator](https://candoya.com/tools/profit-margin-calculator/) - [Percentage Calculator](https://candoya.com/tools/percentage-calculator/) - [Break-even Calculator](https://candoya.com/tools/break-even-calculator/) --- *Markdown edition of , published for AI agents and other automated readers.
