Question 1

What is unit price?

Accepted Answer

Unit price is the cost per standardized unit of measurement (per ounce, gram, liter, count, square foot, etc.). It lets you fairly compare products sold in different package sizes so you can identify the best value.

Question 2

How do I compare two products for the best deal?

Accepted Answer

Add each product with its price, package size and unit. The calculator instantly shows the cost per unit, ranks them from cheapest to most expensive, and highlights the best deal. You can also see the savings amount between the best and worst options.

Question 3

Can I compare products with different units?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pick any unit you like (oz, g, ml, kg, lb, count, etc.) and the calculator will normalize. For different unit types (weight vs volume), convert to the same unit first using the built-in conversion factors.

Question 4

Does it work for non-food items?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Use it for toilet paper (cost per sheet), detergent (per load), tiles (per square foot), screws (per piece), or anything else sold in different package sizes.
