Choice IQ readout
This is a high protein concentration, so the cost per gram is a fair comparison point against other tubs.
- Compare the cost per gram figure across tubs rather than the sticker price.
- Check the amino acid profile if the protein percentage looks unusually high for the price.
- Prefer brands with FSSAI licence details and third-party testing for an Indian purchase.
Tool guide
How to use this protein powder cost per gram calculator
Tub price tells you almost nothing, because it hides two variables at once: how big a serving is, and how much of that serving is actually protein. This calculator converts any tub into a cost per gram of protein, which is the only figure that compares fairly across brands and sizes.
Formula
Servings = tub weight / serving size. Total protein = servings x protein per serving. Cost per gram of protein = tub price / total protein.

Examples
- Comparing whey concentrate against isolate

- Spotting under-dosed budget powders
FAQ
How do I compare protein powders fairly?
Convert each tub to a cost per gram of protein. Divide the tub weight by the serving size to get servings, multiply by protein per serving for total protein, then divide the price by that figure. This removes both serving size and protein percentage from the comparison.
What is a good protein percentage?
Whey isolates typically sit around 80 to 90 percent protein by weight, and concentrates around 70 to 80 percent. Much below 70 percent suggests a large share of carbohydrate or filler, which is worth checking against the price.
Is this nutritional advice?
No. This is a price comparison tool only. Protein requirements vary by body weight, activity and health conditions, and you should speak to a doctor or registered dietitian before changing your intake.
