Recipe Scaling Calculator

Scale any recipe up or down instantly. Enter your ingredients one per line, set your target servings, and get clean cooking fractions β€” no decimals in sight.

Servings

Quick:

Ingredients β€” one per line, e.g. "2 cups flour" or "1 tbsp olive oil"

Scale factor = Target servings Γ· Original servings. Every ingredient quantity is multiplied by this factor.

Clean fractions: When "Use cooking fractions" is on, decimal results are converted to the nearest standard cooking fraction (Β½, β…“, ΒΌ, β…”, ΒΎ, β…›). For example, 1.5 cups becomes "1Β½ cups" and 0.25 tsp becomes "ΒΌ tsp".

Important scaling notes: Leavening agents (baking powder, baking soda, yeast) don't always scale linearly β€” for very large batches, use slightly less than the calculated amount. Salt and strong spices scale conservatively. Cooking time increases for larger volumes but not proportionally β€” a doubled casserole typically needs only 20–30% more time, not double.

Supported formats: "2 cups flour", "1/2 tsp salt", "3 large eggs", "250g butter", "1 tablespoon oil"
