Scaling Based on Servings

To scale based on servings, click into the total portions field. The calculator will automatically calculate the amount of ingredients you need and choose the nearest unit. If you prefer to see the measurements in fractions instead of decimals, toggle on the view option.

Scaling Based on Ingredients

If you want to scale based on a specific amount of an ingredient, type the amount in the respective field. The calculator will automatically recalculate the amount of other ingredients you need and the number of portions you will get.
