Compare package deals fairly by reducing each to its price per unit.
How the Unit Price Calculator works
Price per unit = total price ÷ quantity. It reveals which package is genuinely cheaper.
Example calculation
$12.99 for 6 units is about $2.17 per unit.
Tips for using the Unit Price Calculator
- Use the same unit for both items compared.
- Bigger packs aren't always cheaper per unit.
- Watch for shrinkflation — smaller sizes at the same price.
