“FORMULAS” FOR DIAPER AND FORUMULA COST COMPARISON

Diaper Costs

(Remember that diapers are sized according to weight.)

Total Cost/Package divided by the Number of Diapers/Package = Cost per diaper

Formula Costs

Ready to Use

Total Cost divided by Total Ounces in container = Cost/Fluid Ounce

Concentrate

Total Cost divided by Total Ounces in container X 2 = Cost/Fluid Ounce

Powder

Total Cost divided by Fluid Ounces the Container Makes (check the label; usually a 14 ounce can makes 102 fluid ounces) = Cost/Fluid Ounce
