About the Baby Formula Calculator
The Baby Formula Calculator estimates how much formula a baby needs each day from weight and age, the amount per feed, and how many tins a month that works out at. It runs as plain JavaScript inside the page, which means there is no upload step, no queue and no size limit imposed by a server — the only limit is your own device.
What people use it for
- Working out roughly how much to make up in a day.
- Budgeting for formula and knowing how many tins to buy.
- Checking a feed amount against the baby's current weight.

| Scoop ratio | Follow YOUR tin — brands differ |
| Babies vary | Widely, and feed to appetite |
The maths behind it
This tool uses 150 ml per kilogram of body weight per day for a healthy full-term baby under six months, tapering to about 120 and then 90 as solids take over. Divide by the number of feeds for the amount in each bottle. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
This is a planning and budgeting tool. Intake rises with weight, so the monthly cost it shows is for today's weight and will climb over the coming months. Fewer wet nappies, poor feeding, weight loss or any worry at all is a same-day question for a health visitor or doctor — not one for a calculator.
Where this tool stops
The per-kilogram figures are for healthy full-term babies. Premature babies, babies with reflux or allergies, and anyone on a specialist formula are all outside this and should follow the amounts their clinician gives. Mixed feeding with breast milk is not modelled either.
Frequently asked questions
How much formula should my baby have?
About 150 ml per kilogram of body weight a day in the first six months, split across the feeds — so a 5 kg baby needs roughly 750 ml a day. That is an average for planning and buying. Real babies vary a lot and feed to appetite, which is the right thing for them to do; forcing a calculated amount into a baby who has had enough is not the point of the number.
Can I use a different scoop ratio to save money?
No. Over-diluting formula to make a tin last is genuinely dangerous — it can cause water intoxication and leaves the baby undernourished — and over-concentrating it strains the kidneys. Always use the ratio printed on the tin you actually have, because brands differ in both scoop size and powder density.
Is there a limit on how often I can use the Baby Formula Calculator?
Free, unlimited, and no email address required. You can use it a hundred times a day and nothing changes.
Is what I paste into the Baby Formula Calculator stored?
No. The Baby Formula Calculator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Because the work happens locally, the tool also keeps working if your connection drops, and closing the tab is all it takes to discard everything.
How is the result calculated?
It uses 150 ml per kilogram of body weight per day for a healthy full-term baby under six months, tapering to about 120 and then 90 as solids take over. Divide by the number of feeds for the amount in each bottle. The full working is printed under the result, so you can follow every step rather than trusting a black box.
What do people use the Baby Formula Calculator for most?
The jobs it is built for: working out roughly how much to make up in a day. Budgeting for formula and knowing how many tins to buy. Checking a feed amount against the baby's current weight. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
When is the Baby Formula Calculator not the right tool?
The per-kilogram figures are for healthy full-term babies. Premature babies, babies with reflux or allergies, and anyone on a specialist formula are all outside this and should follow the amounts their clinician gives. Mixed feeding with breast milk is not modelled either. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
Which values should I know?
Under 6 months is ≈ 150 ml per kg a day. 6–9 months is ≈ 120 ml per kg. 9–12 months is ≈ 90 ml per kg. These are printed on the page itself, so you do not have to take them on trust.
How precise is the result?
The calculation runs in double precision and the result is shown to ten significant figures, so converting a value and converting it back returns the original. What is displayed is rounded for readability; what is copied is not.
