Enter the weight of the cheese (g) and the weight of the milk (g) into the Cheese Yield Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Cheese Yield. 

Cheese Yield Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Cheese Yield.

CY = WC / WM * 100

Variables:

  • CY is the Cheese Yield (%)
  • WC is the weight of the cheese (g) 
  • WM is the weight of the milk (g) 

To calculate the cheese yield, divide the weight of cheese by the weight of milk, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Cheese Yield?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Cheese Yield.


  1. First, determine the weight of the cheese (g). 
  2. Next, determine the weight of the milk (g). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = CY = WC / WM * 100.
  4. Finally, calculate the Cheese Yield.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

weight of the cheese (g) = 100

weight of the milk (g) = 150

CY = WC / WM * 100 = ?
