Calculate cost per diaper from pack price and count, compare two packs, or estimate how much diapers cost per month and per year from daily use.
Cost Per Diaper Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the Cost Per Diaper.
- Where CPD is the cost per diaper ($/diaper)
- CP is the cost of the package of diapers
- D is the number of diapers in the package
To calculate the cost per diaper, divide the cost of the package, including tax, by the number of diapers in the pack.
What is the Average Cost Per Diaper?
There is no single current average price represented by this calculator. Use the net pack price and labeled diaper count for the size, type, retailer, and date you are comparing. The calculator’s suggested unit-price choices are illustrative assumptions, not current brand-price estimates.
How to Calculate Cost Per Diaper?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Cost Per Diaper.
First, determine the cost of the pack of diapers. In this example, the cost is $25.00.
Next, determine the number of diapers in the pack. There are 100 diapers in this pack.
Finally, calculate the cost per diaper using the formula above:
CPD = CP / D
CPD = $25.00 / 100
CPD = $.25 / diaper
