FAQ
Calculating the cost of baked goods can be a tricky business. The first thing you need to do is figure out the recipe and then calculate the cost of all the ingredients. But even that isn’t enough, because you also need to factor in things like overhead (the cost of running your bakery) and labor.
Baked goods in the Philippines are typically priced according to their size. The larger the baked good, the higher the price. This is because larger baked goods take longer to cook and require more ingredients, both of which drive up the cost.
Another factor that affects price is how popular a particular type of baked good is. Baked goods that are in high demand will be priced higher than those that are not.
Costing a recipe is all about figuring out the price per serving. You’ll need to know the cost of each ingredient and then divide that by the number of servings the recipe makes. This will give you the cost per serving. Once you have that number, you can decide if the recipe is worth making based on your budget.
If you’re not sure how to calculate the cost of an ingredient, there are plenty of online calculators that can help. Happy baking!

Calculator can use some explanatory information. I figured out that pack = batch or recipe. I don’t understand “Quantify of Pack that can be sold”. The Profit per Pack and Profit per Batch did not calculate.
Hi Alison, thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you were confused by some of the terminology on our calculator and we’ll work on making this clearer in future updates.
We’re also pleased to hear that you figured out how to use the calculator! In the meantime, we added a new note above, you can compute (Quantity of Pack That Can Be Sold) by Dividing the (Number of Servings) by the (Number of Serving Per Pack).
The Profit per Pack and Profit per Batch will now calculate after you input the “Selling Price Per Pack”.
I’ve passed your feedback on to our development team so they can make some improvements.
Thanks again and have a great day!
Hi, the total profit per pack and the total profit per batch did not calculate. The formula in the TOTAL PROFIT PER PACK is =IF(B41,#REF!-F41,””) What will I input in column B41?
