Enter the quantity of the first unit and the quantity of the second unit into the Unit Ratio Calculator. The calculator will evaluate and display the Unit Ratio. 

Unit Ratio Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Unit Ratio. 

UR = Q1 / Q2
  • Where UR is the Unit Ratio ( )
  • Q1 is the quantity of the first unit 
  • Q2 is the quantity of the second unit 

To calculate the unit ratio, divide the quantity of the first unit by the quantity of the second or reference unit.
