Two-Part Finish Mix-by-Weight Calculator

Split a desired batch weight into components A and B using the product's specified weight ratio.

Set up your calculation

An illustrative example is loaded. Replace its values with your measurements, costs or documented settings.

How this works

Calculation

Your result

Component A weight
200 g
Component B weight
100 g
Total mixed weight
300 g

The quote handoff carries your inputs and assumptions. Only an explicit base cost is suggested as a quote cost; prices, rates and measurements remain planning notes.

Understand the result

Method & assumptions

Component A = total batch weight × A ratio ÷ (A ratio + B ratio). Component B is the remainder.

  • For manufacturer-specified ratios BY WEIGHT only. A volume ratio cannot be substituted without the correct component densities.
  • No thinner or additive is included. Follow the product's mixing, ventilation, PPE and pot-life instructions; example values are not a product recommendation.

These values match Load example. They illustrate the method, not recommended material, machine or pricing settings. Read the assumptions before using the result.

Common questions

Are the example settings a recommendation?

No. Replace the example with measured dimensions, actual costs and your product or machine manufacturer's limits.

What if an input is incomplete or impossible?

The result is hidden and a field or calculation error explains what needs correction.

Use this in your project

Continue with the next measurement or cost, then keep the assumptions with your quote.
