Calculation notes

Ingredient cost is package price × recipe amount ÷ package size after compatible units are converted. Labor is hours × hourly rate. Percentage overhead applies to ingredients plus labor; fixed overhead and waste are added afterward.

Suggested price = total cost ÷ (1 − target margin). Mass cannot convert to volume without ingredient density, and sales tax is not included.
