Pet Food Cost Per Day Calculator

See what one day of pet food costs. Enter the price of a bag and how much you feed each day, and the daily cost follows.

How it works

Divide the bag price by the bag weight to get a price per pound or kilogram, then multiply by the amount fed each day. Bag sizes and prices differ between stores, so compare the same weight when you shop.

Worked example

A 15 lb bag priced at $45.00 feeds about 0.5 lb a day, so one day of food costs $1.50.

Questions

Why compare by the day?

A daily cost makes bags of different sizes easy to compare side by side.

Should I add treats?

Yes, if you want the full picture. Add the cost of treats per day to the food cost.

Does this include delivery or sales tax?

No. It counts only the price you enter. Add delivery or tax to the price first if you want them included.
