Dough, Brine, Coffee & Party Calculators

Free kitchen ratio calculators with the maths shown: pizza dough, sourdough, baker's percentages, brines, coffee, cold brew, party pizza, and turkey.

The arithmetic behind the kitchen jobs that are really ratios: how much water for this much flour, how much salt for this much water, how much coffee for this many cups, how many pizzas for this many people, how long for a bird this heavy. Each tool shows its formula and a reference table you can cook from without the calculator next time.

Dough and bread covers pizza dough, sourdough and baker's percentages. Salt and brine covers wet, dry and equilibrium brines and vegetable ferments. Coffee covers ratios by brew method and cold brew. Feeding people covers party pizza, recipe scaling and turkey timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do the numbers come from?

Baker's percentages for the dough tools (every ingredient as a share of flour weight), salt as a percentage of water or meat weight for brines, coffee-to-water ratios by weight with the SCA golden ratio as the reference, and the USDA roasting and thawing tables for turkey. Each page states its formula and shows a table so you can check the result or memorise it.

Are these exact recipes?

They are ratios, which is what recipes are underneath. Flours absorb water differently, a Diamond Crystal teaspoon holds half the salt of a table-salt teaspoon, and ovens drift, so treat the output as the starting point a good recipe gives you and adjust by taste and feel. Meat and poultry are done at a safe internal temperature, never at a time.
