Recipe Converter

Scale a recipe up or down by changing servings, batch size, ingredient amount, or recipe multiplier. Convert common recipe amounts for cooking, baking, meal prep, and family-size adjustments.

Calculate Recipe Conversion

Recipe Multiplier = New Servings ÷ Original Servings. Converted Amount = Ingredient Amount × Recipe Multiplier.

How the recipe converter works

Enter servings:
Add the original recipe servings and the number of servings you want to make.

Add an ingredient:
Enter the amount of one ingredient from the original recipe.

Get the scaled amount:
The calculator multiplies the ingredient by the recipe scale factor.

Why recipe conversion matters

A recipe converter helps resize ingredient amounts when making more or fewer servings.

This is useful for baking, dinner recipes, meal prep, party portions, family meals, batch cooking, reducing leftovers, and scaling recipes for different pan sizes.

What your result means

Your result shows the scaled ingredient amount based on the original servings, new servings, ingredient amount, and selected conversion mode. Use it to convert one ingredient at a time or apply the multiplier to every ingredient in your recipe.

Frequently asked questions

How do you scale a recipe?

Divide the new number of servings by the original number of servings. Then multiply each ingredient amount by that number.

How do you double a recipe?

Multiply every ingredient by 2. For example, 1 cup becomes 2 cups.

How do you halve a recipe?

Multiply every ingredient by 0.5. For example, 1 cup becomes 1/2 cup.

Do baking times change when scaling recipes?

Sometimes. If you change pan size, batter depth, or batch size, baking time may change. Start checking doneness early.
