How to calculate the cost per pack of iron supplements?

This calculator allows you to find out how much you are spending on iron supplements per tablet and per day. The calculations are based on three key inputs:

  1. Price per Pack: The total cost of the pack of iron supplements.
  2. Tablets/Capsules per Pack: The total number of tablets or capsules contained in the pack.
  3. Recommended Dose per Day: The number of tablets or capsules you are advised to take each day.

Formulas Used:

  1. Cost per Tablet: The cost per tablet can be calculated using the formula:

    §§ c_t = \frac{p}{n} §§

    where:

    • § c_t § — cost per tablet
    • § p § — price per pack
    • § n § — number of tablets per pack

  2. Daily Cost: The daily cost of taking the recommended dose is calculated as follows:

    §§ c_d = c_t \times d §§

    where:

    • § c_d § — daily cost
    • § c_t § — cost per tablet
    • § d § — recommended dose per day

Example:

  • Price per Pack (§ p §): $20
  • Tablets per Pack (§ n §): 30
  • Recommended Dose per Day (§ d §): 1

Calculations:

  1. Cost per Tablet: §§ c_t = \frac{20}{30} \approx 0.67 §$

  2. Daily Cost: §§ c_d = 0.67 \times 1 \approx 0.67 §$
