Calculation method

Calculation method

Item total = sum(group people × item amount per person) × (1 + reserve); packs = ceiling(total ÷ pack size).

Entered fixed decimals use exact rational arithmetic wherever the task involves money, ratios, or allocations. Whole packages, tables, seats, and items round only where the real task requires indivisible units.

Precision and limits

Your scenario

No live price, promotion, retailer policy, tax, cultural norm, household consumption rate, attendance rate, or media speed is supplied automatically.

Plan, not a guarantee

Results organize visitor-entered assumptions. They do not guarantee availability, attendance, product life, savings, suitability, or contractual rights.

Precision and privacy

Inputs stay in this browser. Invalid denominators, contradictory counts, impossible percentages, and unsupported ranges return explicit messages rather than misleading results.

Calculator-specific boundary

Use consistent units within each food row. Appetite, dietary restrictions, menu balance, spoilage and food safety are not inferred.
