Cream Fat Percentage Blend Calculator
Enter two declared fat percentages, a target between them and the desired total mass. The calculator solves the two-part weighted average.
Higher-fat ingredient 134.9 g
Lower-fat ingredient 365.1 g
Total blend 500 g
Boundary: This ideal mass balance uses the percentages entered. It does not account for density, rounding on labels, processing or other solids.
Formula
high-fat amount = total × (target − low%) ÷ (high% − low%); low-fat amount = total − high-fat amount
This ideal mass balance uses the percentages entered. It does not account for density, rounding on labels, processing or other solids.
How to use this calculator
- Put the larger declared percentage in the high field and the smaller one in the low field.
- Choose a target between the two source percentages.
- The two output weights add exactly to the requested total.
Worked example
For 500 g at 12% from 35% cream and 3.5% milk, the ideal blend uses about 134.9 g cream and 365.1 g milk.
