About Nutrition Label Per Serving Calculator

Energy per serving is the pack total scaled by serving size over pack weight, and the per 100 g figure is the same scaling to a fixed 100 g basis. Per 100 g is the only figure that compares products fairly, because manufacturers choose serving sizes and a small stated serving flatters the label.

Formulas

Per serving

per serving = pack energy x serving size / pack weight

Per 100 g

per 100 g = pack energy x 100 / pack weight

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 3 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 2 decimal places, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Nutrition Label Per Serving figure worked out?

per serving = pack energy x serving size / pack weight. Energy per serving is the pack total scaled by serving size over pack weight, and the per 100 g figure is the same scaling to a fixed 100 g basis.

Why does this matter?

Per 100 g is the only figure that compares products fairly, because manufacturers choose serving sizes and a small stated serving flatters the label.

What do I need to enter?

Enter energy in the whole pack, pack weight, serving size on the label. The defaults shown are a realistic worked example — swap in your own figures to get a result you can use.
