Cost Per Diaper Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Cost Per Diaper (CPD) is:

\[ \text{CPD} = \frac{\text{CP}}{\text{D}} \]

Where:

$ \text{CPD} $ is the cost per diaper ($/diaper)
$ \text{CP} $ is the cost of the package of diapers ($)
$ \text{D} $ is the number of diapers in the package

What is the Average Cost Per Diaper?

The average cost per diaper for disposable diapers ranges anywhere from $0.16 to $0.35 per diaper. This cost can vary based on the brand, size, and type of diaper. Calculating the cost per diaper helps parents and caregivers budget for this essential item more effectively.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Cost of the Package ($ \text{CP} $): $25
Number of Diapers in the Package ($ \text{D} $): 100

Step 1: Divide the cost of the package by the number of diapers:

\[ \text{CPD} = \frac{25}{100} = 0.25 \text{ $/diaper} \]

Therefore, the cost per diaper is $0.25.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Cost of the Package ($ \text{CP} $): $40
Number of Diapers in the Package ($ \text{D} $): 150

Step 1: Divide the cost of the package by the number of diapers:

\[ \text{CPD} = \frac{40}{150} \approx 0.27 \text{ $/diaper} \]

Therefore, the cost per diaper is approximately $0.27.
