How to use the Bulk purchase savings calculator
Enter single unit price, bulk pack price, and units per pack. Choose the currency for your inputs and read the result as you change the values.
How it works and formula
Savings per pack = single-unit price × units per pack − bulk price.
Worked example
| Single unit price | 4 |
|---|---|
| Bulk pack price | 30 |
| Units per pack | 10 |
Result
Savings per pack $10.00
Choosing your inputs
Enter the individual unit price, the total price of one bulk pack, and the number of equivalent units in that pack. Compare like sizes and use prices on the same tax and shipping basis.
How to interpret the result
Ten items at $4 each cost $40. A $30 pack saves $10 if you use all ten. If you expect to use only seven, seven singles cost $28. Consider spoilage or storage when deciding how much to buy.
