Cost per tub means nothing until you know the active grams per serving.
Two tubs can have the same sticker price and deliver very different amounts of actual creatine. One may contain more servings, more creatine per serving, or fewer added ingredients. The only fair comparison is the cost of the same amount of active creatine, which is why this calculator normalizes everything to the cost per 5 g of active creatine.
The formulas are simple division, shown below so you can check our work.
Enter the label facts. Get cost per 5 g of active creatine, days of supply, and cost per month.
Enter five numbers from the product label:
The calculator returns:
Total active creatine = servings per container times active creatine grams per serving
Cost per 5 g = price divided by total active creatine, times 5
Days of supply = total active creatine divided by daily dose
Cost per month = cost per 5 g times (daily dose divided by 5), times 30
Every figure below is example only, not current prices. Serving counts are invented for illustration.
| Tub A (example only) | Tub B (example only) | |
|---|---|---|
| Price (example only, not current prices) | $30 | $25 |
| Servings per container (example only) | 60 | 30 |
| Active creatine per serving (example only) | 5 g | 5 g |
| Total active creatine (example only) | 300 g | 150 g |
| Cost per 5 g (example only) | $0.50 | $0.83 |
| Days of supply at 5 g/day (example only) | 60 | 30 |
Tub B costs less per tub ($25 vs $30), but Tub A is the better value: $0.50 per 5 g of active creatine vs $0.83, and twice the days of supply.
The calculator uses active creatine grams per serving, not the total weight of the powder in the scoop.
These are different numbers whenever a product contains anything besides creatine monohydrate: flavoring, sweeteners, or other ingredients add weight without adding creatine. A "10 g serving" might contain only 5 g of creatine.
Find the active amount on the Supplement Facts panel, where the creatine line lists its own gram amount. Do not use the serving size weight or the net container weight. For a step-by-step label walkthrough, see The Creatine Label Checklist: 5 Things to Check Before You Buy.
Gummies change the math in two ways: the dose per gummy and the extras.
First, find the creatine per gummy and the number of gummies per serving. A package may contain 60 gummies without containing 60 full servings. If five gummies make one serving and each gummy has 1 g of creatine, the serving provides 5 g of active creatine. That is arithmetic only, not a claim about any specific product.
Second, gummies contain sugars, binders, flavoring, and other ingredients that add weight and cost without adding creatine. Do not count those as creatine, and do not assume potency beyond what the label states.
Currency is user-entered. USD is the primary context for CreatineBuzz, but the calculator accepts any currency you type in. No exchange rates are invented or applied: the outputs stay in the currency you entered.
The calculator trusts the label. A label claim is not an independent measurement of what is in the container. And a low cost per gram says nothing about quality: it does not imply purity, accurate labeling, or third-party verification. Use the label checklist alongside the cost math.
Research-based assessment; not independently lab tested.
Do not compare tubs. Compare the cost of the same amount of active creatine.
