What is Price Per Ounce?

To figure out the price for each ounce is a handy way to determine what’s a good deal. It’s called the price per ounce or PPO. When things come in different package weights, looking at the cost per ounce helps see what’s the better buy. All you do is take the total price and divide by the number of ounces to get the PPO.

Formula

The formula for calculating the price per ounce is:

PPO = \frac{TP}{TW}

Variables

Variable	Description	Unit
$PPO$	Price Per Ounce	Dollars per ounce
$TP$	Total Price	Dollars ($)
$TW$	Total Weight	Ounces or Pounds

How to Use the Calculator

The calculator is straightforward and easy to use. It requires you to input the following fields:

Total Price ($): The total cost of the item.
Total Weight: The weight of the item, which can be entered in ounces or pounds.
Weight Units: Select whether the total weight is in ounces or pounds.
Unit of Weight for Result: Choose whether you want the price per ounce or per pound.

Example Calculation 1

Let’s say you have the following details:

Total Price: $12
Total Weight: 24 ounces
Weight Units: Ounces
Unit of Weight for Result: Ounce

Enter 12 in the Total Price field.
Enter 24 in the Total Weight field.
Select Ounces for the Weight Units.
Select Ounce for the Unit of Weight for Result.

The formula used by the calculator is:

PPO = \frac{TP}{TW}

PPO = \frac{12}{24} = 0.50

So, the price per ounce is $0.50.

Example Calculation 2

Consider another scenario where the details are:

Total Price: $25
Total Weight: 2 pounds
Weight Units: Pounds
Unit of Weight for Result: Ounce

Enter 25 in the Total Price field.
Enter 2 in the Total Weight field.
Select Pounds for the Weight Units.
Select Ounce for the Unit of Weight for Result.

Since 1 pound equals 16 ounces, the calculator converts the total weight to ounces.

The formula in this case is:

PPO = \frac{TP}{TW \times 16}

Now, let’s calculate:

PPO = \frac{25}{2 \times 16} = \frac{25}{32} \approx 0.78

So, the price per ounce is approximately $0.78.
