This free menu price calculator does the math the other way around: tell it <strong>what a plate costs to make and the food cost percentage you want to hit, and it tells you exactly what to charge<\/strong>, menu-ready price like $22.95 instead of an awkward $22.23.<br \/><br \/>You&#8217;ll also see a pricing matrix showing what to charge at five different food cost targets, so you can weigh margin against price point, plus your gross profit and margin at the recommended price. It&#8217;s the fastest way to price a new dish with confidence or to find out which of your current menu items are quietly leaving money on the table.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e6270f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"6e6270f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"mpcalc\">\n\t<div class=\"pc-grid\">\n\t\t<!-- inputs -->\n\t\t<section class=\"pc-panel\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-head\"><div><div class=\"pc-eyebrow\">Step 1<\/div><h3>Your dish<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-field\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"mp-name\">Menu item name<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" id=\"mp-name\" placeholder=\"e.g. Margherita Pizza\" value=\"Margherita Pizza\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-field\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"mp-cost\">Plate cost <span class=\"pc-hint\">\u2014 what the ingredients cost to make it<\/span><\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"number\" id=\"mp-cost\" min=\"0\" step=\"0.01\" value=\"6.67\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-field\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"mp-extra\">Extra cost per dish <span class=\"pc-hint\">\u2014 packaging, garnish, optional<\/span><\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"number\" id=\"mp-extra\" min=\"0\" step=\"0.01\" value=\"0\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-field\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"mp-target\">Target food cost <span class=\"pc-hint\">\u2014 % of price you want ingredients to be<\/span><\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"number\" id=\"mp-target\" min=\"1\" max=\"90\" step=\"0.5\" value=\"30\">\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-field\">\n\t\t\t\t<label for=\"mp-round\">Price rounding <span class=\"pc-hint\">\u2014 charm pricing<\/span><\/label>\n\t\t\t\t<select id=\"mp-round\" class=\"pc-select\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<option value=\"0.95\" selected>Round up to .95<\/option>\n\t\t\t\t\t<option value=\"0.99\">Round up to .99<\/option>\n\t\t\t\t\t<option value=\"0.50\">Round up to .50<\/option>\n\t\t\t\t\t<option value=\"1\">Round up to whole $<\/option>\n\t\t\t\t\t<option value=\"0\">No rounding<\/option>\n\t\t\t\t<\/select>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-runtally\"><span>Total cost per plate<\/span><b id=\"mp-liveCost\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\t<!-- result ticket (gated) -->\n\t\t<section class=\"pc-ticket-shell\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-ticket pc-locked\" id=\"mp-ticket\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-tcap\"><div class=\"pc-k\">Pricing Ticket<\/div><div class=\"pc-name\" id=\"mp-tName\">Margherita Pizza<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-teaser\"><span class=\"pc-lbl\">Cost to make this plate<\/span><span class=\"pc-val\" id=\"mp-teaserCost\">$0.00<\/span><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-locked-region\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-hero-num\"><div class=\"pc-bigval\" id=\"mp-value\">$0.00<\/div><div class=\"pc-cap\">Recommended price <span id=\"mp-capTarget\">@ 30%<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-mx-head\">Price at other food cost targets<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-matrix\" id=\"mp-matrix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-mx-row\" data-t=\"25\"><span class=\"pc-mx-l\">Premium<\/span><span class=\"pc-mx-t\">25%<\/span><b class=\"pc-mx-p\" id=\"mp-p25\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-mx-row\" data-t=\"28\"><span class=\"pc-mx-l\">Strong<\/span><span class=\"pc-mx-t\">28%<\/span><b class=\"pc-mx-p\" id=\"mp-p28\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-mx-row\" data-t=\"30\"><span class=\"pc-mx-l\">Balanced<\/span><span class=\"pc-mx-t\">30%<\/span><b class=\"pc-mx-p\" id=\"mp-p30\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-mx-row\" data-t=\"33\"><span class=\"pc-mx-l\">Comfortable<\/span><span class=\"pc-mx-t\">33%<\/span><b class=\"pc-mx-p\" id=\"mp-p33\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-mx-row\" data-t=\"35\"><span class=\"pc-mx-l\">Value<\/span><span class=\"pc-mx-t\">35%<\/span><b class=\"pc-mx-p\" id=\"mp-p35\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-verdict\" id=\"mp-verdict\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-lines\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-ln\"><span>Plate cost<\/span><b id=\"mp-vCost\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-ln\"><span>Food cost % at this price<\/span><b id=\"mp-vFC\">0%<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-ln\"><span>Gross profit \/ plate<\/span><b id=\"mp-vProfit\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-ln pc-big\"><span>Recommended menu price<\/span><b id=\"mp-vPrice\">$0.00<\/b><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pc-disclaimer\">Cost-based pricing is a starting point.

This free menu price calculator does the math the other way around: tell it what a plate costs to make and the food cost percentage you want to hit, and it tells you exactly what to charge, menu-ready price like $22.95 instead of an awkward $22.23. You&#8217;ll also see a pricing matrix showing what to charge at five different food cost targets, so you can weigh margin against price point, plus your gross profit and margin at the recommended price. It&#8217;s the fastest way to price a new dish with confidence or to find out which of your current menu items are quietly leaving money on the table. FAQ How do you price a menu item? The standard method works backward from your target food cost percentage. You take what the dish costs to make and divide it by that target so a $6 plate at a 30% food cost target should sell for about $20. The calculator does this instantly and then rounds it to a clean menu price. From there you sanity-check against your market and competitors. What food cost percentage should I price for? Most restaurants target 28% to 35%, with 30% a common anchor. A lower target means a higher price and fatter margin; a higher target means a more competitive price and thinner margin. The pricing matrix lets you see both ends at once, so you can pick the point that fits the dish and your positioning rather than guessing. What is the formula for menu pricing? Menu price = item cost \u00f7 target food cost percentage. If a dish costs $5 to make and you want food cost to be 30% of the price, that&#8217;s $5 \u00f7 0.30 = $16.67, which you&#8217;d typically round up to $16.95. It&#8217;s the same math whether you&#8217;re pricing one special or repricing an entire menu. Should I price only on food cost, or include labor? Food cost pricing is the fast, reliable starting point, and it&#8217;s what this calculator uses. But labor-intensive dishes deserve a closer look, a hand-rolled pasta and a pour-and-plate salad can have the same food cost while costing very different amounts to produce. For those, either target a slightly lower food cost percentage (raising the price) or use the extra-cost field to fold in added prep cost. How often should I reprice my menu? Revisit pricing whenever ingredient costs shift meaningfully, and review your full menu at least once or twice a year. Supplier prices drift constantly, and a dish priced perfectly last year can quietly slip below your target margin after a few cost increases. Rerunning your key items through the calculator catches that before it erodes your bottom line. Is the calculator free, and is my information private? Yes, it&#8217;s free. The figures you enter stay in your browser and aren&#8217;t stored. When you unlock your results, you&#8217;re sharing your contact details so we can send them over, your cost and pricing numbers themselves aren&#8217;t part of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[],"taxonomy\/team":[],"class_list":["post-11583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Restaurant Menu Price Calculator<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Free restaurant menu price calculator.
