Calcolatore Costo Pasto per Porzione — Formula

How to Calculate Cost Per Serving

Formula

Cost per Serving = (Total Ingredients + Energy Cost) / Number of Servings

What to Include

Ingredients: Sum up the cost of every ingredient used (prorated if you only use part of a package)

Energy: A rough estimate for oven or stove use is $0.25-1.00 per meal

Do not include: Labor (your time), equipment depreciation, or kitchen overhead

Why This Matters

Home cooking typically costs 50-80% less per serving than restaurant meals. Tracking cost per serving helps you identify which recipes deliver the best value and plan a budget-friendly meal rotation.
