This Recipe Portion Scaler helps you convert any recipe to feed more or fewer people without doing manual calculations. It is especially useful when you are cooking for events, family gatherings, meal prep, or when adapting online recipes to match your household size.
Start by entering how many servings the original recipe makes and how many servings you want. Then, optionally list your ingredients and quantities. The tool calculates a single scaling factor and applies it to each ingredient.
Scaling recipes properly helps you avoid food waste, manage your grocery budget, and ensure everyone at the table gets a fair portion. Whether you are cooking for one, for two, or for a big celebration, having the right quantities makes life easier in the kitchen.
The calculator uses a simple formula: the scaling factor is equal to desired servings divided by original servings. Every ingredient quantity in your recipe is then multiplied by this factor.
Yes. Because the tool multiplies the numeric quantity and keeps your unit text separate, you can use grams, cups, tablespoons, milliliters, or any other unit. Just be consistent with your original recipe.
You can copy the scaled ingredient list into your notes app, print the page from your browser, or share the calculation link using the Share button.
