How it works
Compare packages by cost per unit of quantity. Use the same unit, such as kilograms or pieces, for every package compared.
Inputs and units
| Input | Example value | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Pack price | 12 | Enter a numeric value. Use a non-negative value. |
| Quantity in pack | 6 | Enter a numeric value. Must be greater than zero. |

Questions and answers
Can I use the example values for my own calculation?
The example values illustrate the calculation. Replace every input with your own information, especially dates, rates and the selected operation.
Why are some results rounded?
Results display up to 8 decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded values; very small values use scientific notation. JavaScript floating-point arithmetic can introduce tiny rounding differences.
Are my inputs sent to a server?
The calculator processes inputs in your browser. Its code does not send your values to a server.
