Enter concentrate strength in % dissolved solids.
% dissolved solids
Enter desired strength in % dissolved solids.

Formula

final mass=concentrate mass × initial strength/target strength; added water=final−initial mass.
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Mass-based dilution of measured dissolved-solids percentages with pure water; it does not prescribe caffeine intake.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Concentrate mass: 200 g
  • Concentrate strength: 4 % dissolved solids
  • Desired strength: 1.5 % dissolved solids

200 g concentrate at 4% solids diluted to 1.5% requires about 333.33 g water.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter concentrate mass, concentrate strength, desired strength. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

final mass=concentrate mass × initial strength/target strength; added water=final−initial mass.. Mass-based dilution of measured dissolved-solids percentages with pure water; it does not prescribe caffeine intake.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
