The maths behind it

This tool uses Capacity = people × litres per person for the usage pattern, 40 to 85 litres each, plus 40% if you buy in bulk. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.

A full freezer is cheaper to run than a half-empty one — frozen food holds its cold while air has to be re-chilled every time the door opens. Filling gaps with bottles of water genuinely reduces the running cost.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Freezer Capacity Calculator free, or is there a paid tier?
Free, unlimited, and no email address required. You can use it a hundred times a day and nothing changes.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The Freezer Capacity 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 Capacity = people × litres per person for the usage pattern, 40 to 85 litres each, plus 40% if you buy in bulk. The full working is printed under the result, so you can follow every step rather than trusting a black box.
When would I actually need the Freezer Capacity Calculator?
The jobs it is built for: choosing a freezer for a family. Deciding whether a chest freezer is worth it. Estimating the running cost before buying. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Is there anything to watch out for?
A full freezer is cheaper to run than a half-empty one — frozen food holds its cold while air has to be re-chilled every time the door opens. Filling gaps with bottles of water genuinely reduces the running cost.
Which values should I know?
Light use is 40 L per person. Normal is 60 L. Heavy is 85 L. 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.
