About this tool
In baker's percentages, flour is always 100 percent and every other ingredient is measured against it. This calculator turns your recipe weights into those percentages, which makes scaling and comparing recipes far easier than working from raw grams alone.
Frequently asked questions
Why is flour always 100 percent?
Because every other ingredient is compared with flour, the main structural ingredient. It keeps formulas comparable even when batch sizes differ.
How do I scale a recipe with percentages?
Pick a new flour weight, then multiply it by each percentage. A 70 percent hydration dough with 1000 g flour needs 700 g water.
