Marinade Ratio
Split a marinade into oil, acid and flavor parts by ratio.
About Marinade Ratio
The total marinade is divided by the sum of ratio parts, then each component gets its share of the per-part volume. A balanced oil-to-acid ratio keeps marinades from being greasy or harshly sour while carrying flavor into the food.

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 1 decimal place, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
