Edible oil price converter (₹/litre ↔ ₹/kg by density)
Move an edible-oil price between every unit traders actually use — ₹/10 kg, ₹/litre, ₹/kg, 15 kg tin, 15 L jar, ₹/MT — with the correct per-oil density. Free, offline, density editable.
What it does
Litre conversions need density (mass per litre), which differs by oil. The calculator reduces whatever you enter to ₹/kg, then expands it to all the other units — keeping a 15 kg tin and a 15 L jar correctly distinct.
The formula
- Reduce the entered price to
₹/kg(e.g. ₹/10 kg ÷ 10; ₹/litre ÷ density; ₹/15 kg tin ÷ 15). ₹/litre = ₹/kg × density15 kg tin = ₹/kg × 15·15 L jar = ₹/litre × 15·₹/MT = ₹/kg × 1000
Worked example
Mustard oil at ₹1,200 per 10 kg, density 0.910 kg/L:
- ₹/kg = 1,200 ÷ 10 =
₹120.00 - ₹/litre = 120.00 × 0.910 =
₹109.20 - 15 kg tin = 120 × 15 =
₹1,800 - 15 L jar = 109.20 × 15 =
₹1,638 - ₹/MT = 120 × 1000 =
₹1,20,000
Why is a 15 kg tin not the same as a 15 L jar?
Oil density is below 1 kg/L, so 15 litres weighs less than 15 kg — they are different quantities, and the calculator does not conflate them.
What density should I use?
Each oil has its own default (mustard ≈0.910, soybean ≈0.917, palm ≈0.912, sunflower ≈0.918, groundnut ≈0.912 kg/L); edit it to your own lab figure if needed.
