Cost Per 100ml Formula:
From: | To: |
The cost per 100ml calculation helps compare the value of different alcohol products by standardizing their prices to a common volume. This is particularly useful when comparing bottles of different sizes.
The calculator uses the simple formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates how much you pay for each 100ml portion of the alcohol, making price comparisons between different sized bottles easier.
Details: Standardizing alcohol prices to cost per 100ml allows consumers to make informed purchasing decisions and identify the best value products, especially when bottle sizes vary significantly.
Tips: Enter the total price of the alcohol product and its total volume in milliliters. Both values must be greater than zero for accurate calculation.
Q1: Why calculate cost per 100ml instead of just comparing total prices?
A: Different bottle sizes make direct price comparisons misleading. Cost per 100ml standardizes the comparison.
Q2: Does this account for alcohol percentage differences?
A: No, this only compares volume pricing. For alcohol content comparison, you'd need to factor in ABV (alcohol by volume).
Q3: What's considered a good price per 100ml?
A: This varies by alcohol type and quality. Compare similar products to determine reasonable pricing.
Q4: Should I always buy the product with lowest cost per 100ml?
A: Not necessarily. Consider quality, brand preference, and whether you'll use the full volume before making decisions.
Q5: Can I use this for non-alcoholic beverages?
A: Yes, this calculation works for any liquid product where you want to compare pricing by volume.
