THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Edible fractions come from the user’s measured trimming yields; no nutrition or freshness assessment.
Start with your inputs
Enter pack weights by option (kg), observed edible fraction by option (%), pack prices. Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Pack weights by option (kg) | 2,3 |
| Observed edible fraction by option (%) | 75,80 |
| Pack prices | 6,12 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, edible mass by option (kg) is 1.5, 2.4. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Edible mass by option (kg) | 1.5, 2.4 |
| Cost per edible kg | 4, 5 |
How this is calculated
Edible mass by option (kg)
Multiply gross pack mass by edible fraction.
Cost per edible kg
Divide pack price by edible mass.

Assumptions and limits
Edible fractions come from the user’s measured trimming yields; no nutrition or freshness assessment.
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?
Edible mass by option (kg); Cost per edible kg. 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: Edible fractions come from the user’s measured trimming yields; no nutrition or freshness assessment.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
