Cost Per Dose Calculator
Calculate cost per single dose, cost per milligram, weekly protocol expenses, and monthly budgeting across your compounds.
Protocol Budgeting & Unit Cost Math
Written out so you can check it by hand. The app runs this exact function, not a second implementation that drifts.
Tracking protocol costs per dose and per milligram enables accurate budgeting and value comparisons across compound sourcing options.
1. Cost per Dose: Cost/Dose = Vial Price ($) ÷ Total Doses. A $60 vial containing 20 doses costs $3.00 per dose.
2. Cost per Milligram: Cost/mg = Vial Price ($) ÷ Vial Mass (mg). A 5 mg vial for $60 equals $12.00 per mg.
3. Monthly Estimate: Monthly Cost = Cost/Dose × Doses/Week × 4.345.
- How is cost per dose calculated?
- Cost Per Dose = Total Vial Price ÷ Total Doses in Vial. Total doses are calculated by dividing the vial quantity (e.g., 5 mg) by your single dose size (e.g., 250 mcg).
- Why is cost per milligram (cost/mg) an important metric?
- Cost per mg normalizes compound pricing across different vial sizes. It allows you to evaluate whether a 10 mg vial offers better value per milligram than a 5 mg vial.
- What is the most common pricing-comparison mistake?
- Comparing vials by sticker price instead of cost per mg. A cheaper vial with less content frequently costs more per mg, and since your dose is fixed, per-mg cost is the only number the two vials actually compete on.
- How does the calculator estimate monthly protocol expenses?
- Monthly cost is calculated by multiplying your cost per dose by weekly dose frequency and multiplying by 4.345 (the average weeks in a calendar month).
The number is right. Now keep the record.
Save doses, set reminders, and keep the math in one place. The calculators stay free either way.
