Enter the total amount of gravy and the total serving size into the calculator to determine the Gravy Ratio. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Gravy Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Gravy Ratio.

GR = (T / S) * 100

Variables:

  • GR is the Gravy Ratio (%)
  • T is the total amount of gravy (ml)
  • S is the total serving size (ml)

To calculate the Gravy Ratio, divide the total amount of gravy by the total serving size. Multiply the result by 100 to get the Gravy Ratio in percentage.

What is a Gravy Ratio?

A gravy ratio refers to the proportion of ingredients used to make gravy, typically a mixture of fat, flour, and a liquid such as broth or milk. The ratio is important to achieve the desired consistency and flavor. A common ratio is 1:1:1, meaning one part fat, one part flour, and one part liquid. However, this can vary depending on the specific recipe or personal preference.

How to Calculate Gravy Ratio?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Gravy Ratio.


  1. First, determine the total amount of gravy (T) in milliliters (ml).
  2. Next, determine the total serving size (S) in milliliters (ml).
  3. Next, use the formula GR = (T / S) * 100 to calculate the Gravy Ratio.
  4. Finally, calculate the Gravy Ratio by inserting the values of T and S into the formula and performing the calculation.
  5. After calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem:

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

Total amount of gravy (T) = 250 ml

Total serving size (S) = 500 ml
