Use the formula with the current retailer price and label calories. CatCost treats price per 100 kcal as the fair starting point because bag size and can count alone can make a food look cheaper than it is.
Use the current shelf or retailer price and the total package calories from the product label.

A cat food package is useful only after price, package size, and calories are put on the same basis.
Price per pound is a helpful first check for dry kibble, but it does not answer the question most owners are trying to solve: how much does this food cost to feed each day? Two bags can have the same shelf price and the same weight while delivering different calories per cup or per kilogram. Wet food makes the problem even clearer. A 24-pack of 3 oz cans, a 12-pack of 2.8 oz pouches, and a 48-serving tray case are not comparable by count or ounces alone.
CatCost uses total package calories because the monthly budget depends on daily energy intake. Once a package has a total kcal number, the math becomes simple: current price divided by total package kcal, multiplied by 100. That number shows the cost of 100 kcal. A 240 kcal/day adult feeding target then costs 2.4 times that metric per day, multiplied by 30.44 days for a monthly estimate.
The table above pre-fills label-based calorie estimates for common Amazon examples so the page is useful on first load. These defaults are still editable because labels, package counts, and multipack mixes can change. If the current product label shows a different kcal per can, pouch, tray, cup, kilogram, or package, update the input and the ranking will recalculate immediately.
This method also keeps comparisons modest. It does not claim that the lowest $/100 kcal food is the best food for a specific cat. Health history, age, body condition, feeding instructions, palatability, allergies, and vet guidance can matter more than price. The purpose of this page is narrower: avoid being misled by package size and see the recurring cost before a food becomes the household default.
price_per_100_kcal = current_price / package_kcal * 100
monthly_food_cost = daily_kcal / 100 * price_per_100_kcal * 30.44
Dry kibble, baked dry, air-dried, freeze-dried, wet cans, wet pouches, toppers, treats, and supplements are grouped separately. Default kcal values are label estimates for the listed package, and each input remains editable so users can verify against the current label before buying.
