How it is calculated

Total cost = ingredients + extra costs. Cost per serving = total cost / servings. Monetary totals are rounded once rather than rounding every component first.

Worked example

EUR 12 of ingredients plus EUR 3 of extra costs for five servings gives a total of EUR 15 and a cost of EUR 3 per serving.

Before you calculate

Include the cost of the ingredient quantities actually used. Account for preparation losses consistently in those costs without counting waste twice. Extra costs can include clearly allocated items such as packaging, provided they are not already included.

Interpreting the result

This is a cost allocation, not a selling-price recommendation or a tax calculation. The result depends on the serving definition and the cost basis. Labour, energy, overhead and margin are included only if you have explicitly allocated them.

Use the units shown beside each field. Monetary fields labelled EUR stay in euros; changing language does not exchange currencies. Results are estimates under the stated assumptions.
