How to scale a recipe for more or fewer servings

Scale by servings or a multiplier

Enter the original quantities, choose the servings you need, then select Scale recipe. You can also multiply the whole recipe by a factor such as 0.5 or 2.

Formula

Scaled quantity = original quantity × target servings ÷ original servings. A 4-serving recipe changed to 6 servings uses a factor of 1.5.

Fractions and decimals

Use 1/3, 1 1/2 or symbols such as ½. Decimals use a period and up to six places. Ranges such as 1–2 are not supported.

Units and cooking

Units stay exactly as entered. This tool scales quantities only; it does not adjust time, temperature, seasoning, nutrition or food safety.
