Numeric quantities scale proportionally. Non-numeric values (e.g. “to taste”) pass through unchanged.

Useful context

How it works

Use the calculator first, then scan the details below when you want more context about the inputs, result, or assumptions.

Method

Numeric ingredient quantities are multiplied by the ratio between desired servings and original servings.

How to use it

Enter original and desired servings, add ingredients with quantities, and review the scaled list.

Understand the result

Each numeric amount is proportional to the serving change; non-numeric notes remain unchanged.

Example

A recipe for 4 using 2 cups of flour needs 3 cups when scaled to 6 servings.

Notes

Cooking times, pan sizes, seasoning, and ingredients such as eggs may not scale perfectly in practice.
