How to Convert Between Baking Pan Sizes

Formula

Scale Factor = New Pan Area / Original Pan Area

For rectangular pans: Area = Length x Width

Multiply each ingredient by the scale factor to adapt the recipe.

Example

Switching from a 13x9 pan (117 sq in) to an 8x8 pan (64 sq in) requires scaling to 64/117 = 0.55x the recipe.

Example Calculation

Scale a recipe from a 13x9 inch pan to an 8x8 inch pan.

  1. 01Original pan area: 13 x 9 = 117 sq in.
  2. 02New pan area: 8 x 8 = 64 sq in.
  3. 03Scale factor: 64 / 117 = 0.55.
  4. 04Use 55% of each ingredient amount.
