Food Cost Calculator: Recipes

Food cost calculator and recipe cost calculator for home bakers, caterers and small kitchens.

Recipe Cost Calculator helps home bakers, caterers and small food businesses work out the true cost of every dish — and set a selling price that actually keeps a margin. Completely offline and private: no account, no cloud, your recipes stay on your phone.

STOP GUESSING YOUR PRICES

Most food sellers price by feel and quietly lose money. This app does the math for you, ingredient by ingredient.

SMART UNIT CONVERSION

You buy flour by the kilo but use it by the gram; you buy eggs by the dozen but use two. Just enter what you paid and what you use — the app converts the cost automatically (kg to grams, litres to millilitres, pieces). No mental math.

YOUR REAL COST PER SERVING (HPP)

Add every ingredient, then your batch overhead — packaging, gas, labour. The app adds it up and divides by how many servings the batch makes, giving you a clear cost per unit (your HPP / cost of goods).

PRICE FROM A TARGET MARGIN

Pick the margin you want to keep and the app suggests a selling price that protects it — then shows your profit per unit and your break-even (how many you must sell to cover the batch overhead).

BUILD A RECIPE LIBRARY

Save every recipe with its cost breakdown, reopen and edit any time as prices change, and share a clean cost sheet with a partner or supplier.

GREAT FOR

- Home bakers and cake sellers
- Home caterers and meal-prep sellers
- Coffee, juice and drink stalls
- Any small food & drink business (UMKM) pricing from home

PRIVATE & OFFLINE

Everything runs on-device with no sign-up and no connection required. Your recipes and prices are yours alone.

A GENTLE NOTE

Costs and prices are estimates to help you plan — always double-check against your real invoices and local costs.

Cost it, price it, keep your margin — Recipe Cost Calculator turns your kitchen into a business you can actually run the numbers on.
