About Price Per Unit Calculator
The Price Per Unit Calculator turns any package price into a simple per-unit cost. Enter the total price and the number of units you get, and it returns the price of a single unit so you can compare offers at a glance.
Use it in the grocery aisle, when comparing bulk packs against single items, or whenever a deal is quoted for a multi-pack. Dividing the total price by the quantity strips away the packaging and shows which option really costs less per piece.
Enter your own price and quantity and press Calculate to get the per-unit cost instantly.
Formula & Mathematical Calculation
Price Per Unit = Total Price ÷ Quantity
Where: Total Price = what you pay for the pack in dollars, Quantity = the number of units in the pack.
Calculation Example
A pack priced at $12 that contains 6 units costs $2 per unit. The calculator divides the total price by the quantity, so you can compare that $2 figure directly against the per-unit cost of any competing pack.
