Food Quantity Calculators for Parties & Events
Each calculator answers one concrete quantity question — how much pasta, buffet food, raclette, finger food or pizza per person — based on a named source. Both the source value or range and the figure EventCalc derives from it are always shown.
What do you want to calculate?
These calculators answer "how much per person?" for a single building block of your event. If you want to plan a complete menu of several dishes and drinks instead, the full planner is the right starting point: there, dishes in the same group share the demand rather than each counting as a full portion.
- How much pasta per person?How much pasta per person? Source range 100–150 g dry as a main course, 70 g as a side. Includes a table for 10 to 100 people and the packs you need to buy.

Scaling whole dishes
Recipe dishes have their own pages: they scale the ingredient amounts of an original recipe to your guest count, without inventing a finished-dish weight.
