Find the price per pound for anything sold by weight — produce, meat, bulk goods, or shipping.
How it works
Price per pound is the total price divided by the weight in pounds: price per lb = Total Price ÷ Weight (lb). $12.99 for 3 pounds works out to $4.33 per pound.
What this does not include
This reports one item’s per-pound price. To compare two different products or package sizes against each other, use this site’s unit price comparator instead.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the total price.
- Enter the weight in pounds.
What if the weight is given in ounces, not pounds?
Divide ounces by 16 to get pounds first (16 oz = 1 lb), then enter that value.
Why does price per pound matter when comparing package sizes?
A larger package often has a lower total price per pound even if its sticker price is higher, since bulk pricing frequently rewards buying more at once.
Does this account for sales tax?
No — enter the price as shown on the tag; tax is typically calculated afterward at checkout and isn’t part of the per-pound unit price.
