Menu Pricing Calculator

FREE AUSTRALIAN HOSPITALITY TOOL

Calculate a transparent starting price from a recipe cost and target food-cost percentage. The result is a planning starting point, not a recommended market price.

Keep the GST treatment consistent. The calculator does not convert between GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive amounts.

Gross dollars remaining

Formula
cost ÷ target percentage

The gross dollars remaining are before labour, occupancy, merchant fees, waste, tax and profit.

Important: Compare the result with customer expectations, competitor context, portion size, labour, waste and overheads. Your cost and price amounts are calculated in this browser and are not included in the calculator’s analytics events. Those events may record calculator use, the selected GST basis, rounding preference where applicable, and resource-link clicks.
