THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Each visitor receives the supplied samples of every product. Ingredient cost is based on edible sample mass and excludes preparation labour unless included in event costs.
Start with your inputs
Enter visitors, samples per visitor by product, sample weight by product (g), ingredient cost by product (currency/kg), other event costs. Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Visitors | 100 |
| Samples per visitor by product | 1,2 |
| Sample weight by product (g) | 5,3 |
| Ingredient cost by product (currency/kg) | 20,10 |
| Other event costs | 25 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, sample counts by product is 100, 200. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Sample counts by product | 100, 200 |
| Sample mass by product (kg) | 0.5, 0.6 |
| Total sampler event cost | 41 |
How this is calculated
Sample counts by product
Multiply visitors by samples per person.
Sample mass by product (kg)
Multiply sample count by gram weight and convert to kilograms.
Total sampler event cost
Price each product mass and add other event costs.

Assumptions and limits
Each visitor receives the supplied samples of every product. Ingredient cost is based on edible sample mass and excludes preparation labour unless included in event costs.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Sample counts by product; Sample mass by product (kg); Total sampler event cost. The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Each visitor receives the supplied samples of every product. Ingredient cost is based on edible sample mass and excludes preparation labour unless included in event costs.
