Quick answer

Unit price equals total price divided by quantity.

The lower unit price is usually the better value when package units are truly comparable.

Best inputs

Use comparable units

Compare ounces to ounces, items to items, or servings to servings.

Use effective prices

Apply coupons, discounts, or tax before entering price when those matter.

Unit price formula
The calculator divides each item price by its quantity.
Item A unit price = item A price / item A quantity.
Item B unit price = item B price / item B quantity.
Difference per unit helps show how much the lower option saves.
