Free calculators for food and drink brands
Last updated: 16 October 2026
These free calculators answer four questions challenger food and drink brands ask every month: what does one unit cost, what does imported stock cost once it lands, how much buffer should I hold, and how much time does order admin eat? Each one shows its formulas, runs in your browser and needs no sign-up.
Your numbers, not ours. Every calculator starts with an example, shows every assumption and lets you change all of them.

Want the definitions behind the maths?
The first three calculators each link to a glossary entry with a worked UK food example:

A calculator answers one question for one SKU. When you're running these sums across a whole range every week, that's the manual faff Pesto takes off your plate.
Frequently asked questions
Are the calculators free?
Yes. There's no sign-up and no email gate. You'll see every result straight away.
Do you store what I enter?
No. The maths runs in your browser. Your inputs sit in the page link so you can share it with a co-founder or bring it to a demo. The only time anything reaches us is if you ask the ROI calculator to email you your results.
Can I trust the formulas?
Every page shows its formulas in full, with a worked example and the source where there is one. Check them against your own spreadsheet; that's what they're there for.
