Protein Cost Calculator

Calculate what a package costs for each 25g of protein. This answers a budget question; it is not an overall nutrition score.

This tool compares label inputs; it does not diagnose, treat or recommend a product. Check the package for current information.

Protein cost formula

Multiply protein per serving by servings per package to find total protein. Divide that total by 25 to find the number of 25g protein portions, then divide the package price by that number. Keep the currency and price date the same when comparing products.

Example and limits

For a $12 package with 18g of protein per serving and 20 servings, the package contains 360g of protein. That equals 14.4 portions of 25g, so the protein cost is about $0.83 per 25g. Nutrition quality, ingredients and convenience remain separate decisions.
