- Ingredients [mass kg,supplier USD per kg]
- [[0.5,5],[0.3,8],[0.2,10]]
- Unrecoverable process loss (%)
- 5
- Purchased batch cost (USD)
- $6.90
- Usable dry batch mass (kg)
- 0.95
- Cost per usable kg (USD/kg)
- $7.263158
Try another scenario
- Ingredients [mass kg,supplier USD per kg]
- [[0.5,5],[0.3,8],[0.2,10]]
- Unrecoverable process loss (%)
- 10
- Purchased batch cost (USD)
- $6.90
- Usable dry batch mass (kg)
- 0.9
- Cost per usable kg (USD/kg)
- $7.666667
Calculation method
Calculation method
Purchased batch cost (USD)
Sum ingredient mass×unit price.
Usable dry batch mass (kg)
Total input mass×(1−loss fraction).
Cost per usable kg (USD/kg)
Purchased cost/usable mass.
Symbols and units

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Ingredient amounts, supplier prices, process losses. Returns Batch and per-kilogram cost. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Unrecoverable process loss (%): minimum 0, maximum 99.
