FAQs
- How do I compare items with different units?
- Convert them to the same unit first (e.g., pounds to ounces or gallons to liters), then plug in the numbers.
- Should I include shipping or delivery fees?
- Include any fees that meaningfully change what you actually pay so comparisons stay accurate.
- Can I use decimals for weight?
- Yes. Enter decimals like 0.75 lb or 12.5 oz to match the package size.
- Does this account for sales tax?
- No. Add tax to the total price if you want a post-tax comparison.
- Why is the store label different from my result?
- Stores may round or use different units. Match units exactly to replicate their posted unit price.
