Enter the total number of people and the average number of beers per person into the calculator to determine the total beers needed for an event.

Beer Per Person Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the total beers needed for an event.

TB = TP * BPP

Variables:

  • TB is the total beers needed
  • TP is the total number of people attending the event
  • BPP is the average number of beers per person

To calculate the total beers needed, multiply the total number of people by the average number of beers per person.

How to Calculate Total Beers Needed?
