Price Per Count Calculator

Batteries, coffee pods, wipes, trash bags, dishwasher tabs, gum — if it's sold by the each, this is the math that finds the real deal.

Enter price and item count for two packs and get the true cost per item, side by side, with the winner called out. Works for anything counted.

Prices change fast — YMMV.

Pack A

Pack B

Pre-filled with AA batteries: same brand, and the small pack costs ~42% more per battery. That premium is what this page exists to catch.

Check live prices instead of typing them

PriceXray runs this math automatically against current Amazon listings — every result sorted by price per count, coupon math included. Add Walmart, eBay and Google Shopping to the same search with one tap.

Where per-count math pays off most

Batteries are the classic: pack sizes run from 4 to 100 and the per-battery spread is routinely 2–3×. (Also worth a look: rechargeables — the per-cycle cost embarrasses disposables if you actually recharge them.)

Coffee pods hide their math behind box sizes of 10, 24, 32, 72, 96... At 30–70¢ a pod, the difference funds a lot of actual coffee.

Wipes, swabs, tabs, bags — the boring aisle where "family size" and "value pack" are vibes, not promises. The count is on the label. Divide.

FAQ

How do I calculate price per count?
Pack price ÷ number of items. $15.99 for 48 batteries ≈ 33¢ each; $9.49 for 20 ≈ 47¢ each.
What should be compared per count?
Anything sold as discrete items — if the package brags about a number of things rather than a weight or volume, per-count is the honest comparison.
Is the bigger pack always cheaper per item?
Often, not always. Mid-pack promos and bulk-pack premiums both happen. Ten seconds of division beats an assumption.

Our Amazon links are plain links — no affiliate tag, no commission.

Amazon doesn't allow affiliate sites to run price alerts, so we chose the alerts. If eBay or Walmart links ever earn us a commission, they'll be labeled (paid link) — and it never changes the price you pay. The whole thing runs on Ko-fi tips.
