Baker's Percentage Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Baker's Percentage (BP) is:

\[ BP = \frac{IW}{FW} \times 100 \]

Where:

\( BP \) is the baker's percentage.
\( IW \) is the ingredient weight.
\( FW \) is the flour weight.

What is Baker's Percentage?

A baker's percentage is a ratio of the weight of an ingredient to the total weight of flour used in baking. This ratio helps bakers maintain consistency in their recipes.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Ingredient Weight (IW): 500 g
Flour Weight (FW): 1000 g

Using the formula to calculate the Baker's Percentage:

\[ BP = \frac{500}{1000} \times 100 = 50\% \]

This means that the baker's percentage for this example is 50%.
