Recipe Scaler
Enter the servings in the recipe, the servings you want and the ingredient amounts.
This result is an estimate only. Double-check important figures before relying on them.
How it is calculated
- Factor = servings wanted ÷ servings in the recipe
- Each amount × factor
To change units, use the cooking measurement converter.
Worked example
A recipe for 4 with 200, 2, 1.5 and 0.5, made for 10:
- Factor 2.5
- Scaled 500, 5, 3.75, 1.25
Why your number may differ
Pans, cooking times and spices need judgement when you scale by a lot. Double a recipe and the pan size may need to double too.
Frequently asked questions
How do I scale a recipe?
Divide the servings you want by the servings in the recipe, then multiply every ingredient by that number.
Does everything scale evenly?
Not always. Salt, spices, raising agents and cooking time do not scale in a straight line, so taste and adjust.
How do I enter a fraction?
Use a decimal: ½ is 0.5, ¼ is 0.25 and ¾ is 0.75.
