Recipe serving size calculator

Scale saved recipe ingredients before you plan or shop.

Paste ingredient lines, choose the original and target servings, and get a scaled draft to review before turning the recipe into a meal plan or grocery list.

This browser-only helper is an estimate. Review quantities, labels, cooking time, pan size, preferences, and substitutions yourself before shopping or cooking.

Original servings Target servings

Paste ingredient lines

Keep the original recipe open. Ingredient scaling works best when amounts are simple numbers or fractions at the start of each line.

Scaled ingredient draft

Scaled ingredient lines will appear here after you enter servings and paste ingredients.

Review before cooking

Spices, salt, acid, and heat do not always scale perfectly. Taste and adjust.
Baking recipes, eggs, gelatin, thickening agents, and yeast need extra review.
Pan size, cook time, and oven temperature usually need human judgment.
Use scaled amounts as a planning estimate, not a nutrition or safety calculator.
