Baker's Percentage Calculator

In professional baking, all ingredients are expressed as a percentage of the total flour weight. Enter your flour weight below and set your desired percentages — the calculator does the rest.

Dough Hydration Calculator

Hydration = (water ÷ flour) × 100. Different hydration levels produce dramatically different results — from stiff bagel dough to silky focaccia batter. Find out where your dough falls.

Why Baker's Percentages?

They're the secret language of professional bakers. Here's why they matter.

1
Scale Any Recipe

Want to double or halve a recipe? Just change the flour weight — all other ingredients scale automatically.

2
Compare Recipes

Two recipes with different quantities but the same percentages will taste identical. Percentages reveal the true formula.

3
Adjust Hydration

Change your water percentage and instantly see how much water to use. No mental arithmetic needed.

4
Troubleshoot Problems

Dough too sticky? Check the hydration. Too dense? Check the yeast percentage. Numbers tell the story.
