How Do You use our Batch Size Calculator?
A batch calculator will be able to provide you the required ingredient weights for a batch of a specific size.
• Type in your recipe title.
• In the “Batch Size” field type in the total weight of your recipe’s batch and be sure to select a unit of measurement.
• Lastly, type each ingredients by name and the % for each required by the recipe.
• Your recipe should add up to 100% after entering your ingredients.
Finally, the calculator will return you the weight requirements for each ingredient under the “Totals” column.
How Do You Get Ingredient Percentages from Weights?
To find out recipe percentages using weights you can utilize our weight to percentage calculator.
By Hand: Weigh and note each ingredient you’d like to find the percentage of. Next, execute your recipe and get a recipe total weight. With that, you are able to divide the ingredient weight by the total weight and multiply by 100 to find your ingredient’s percentage.
Example: A 15lb batch of scrub calls for 3.3lbs of sugar
3.3 ÷ 15 = 0.22 → 0.22 × 100 = 22 → Answer is 22%
How Do You Convert Percentages into Weight Amounts?
We recommend utilizing our batch calculator above.
By Hand: Take an ingredient from the recipe and have its percentage divided by 100. Next, multiply the result by your recipes total weight to get your answer.
Example: A 15lb batch of scrub calls for 22% sugar
22 ÷ 100 = 0.22 → 0.22 × 15 = 3.3 → Answer is 3.3lbs
How Do I Fix Formula Percentages over 100%?
This Batch Calculator has the capacity to 100ify formulas over and under 100%.
By Hand: Find a total percentage. Then divide each ingredients’ percentage by the total percentage and multiply by 100 to find its new percentage. After doing this for each ingredient you will find that your formula percentages add up to 100.
