Enter your Part A Ratio and Part B Ratio, choose your Unit, then input either a Total Amount Needed, Part A Amount, or Part B Amount — the Mixing Ratio Calculator works out exactly how much of each component you need, plus the Part A and Part B percentages of your final Total Mixture.

A mixing ratio is the proportion of different substances in a mixture, typically expressed as ratios like 5:1 or percentages. It tells you how much of each component you need to create the desired mixture.
To calculate mixing ratios, divide the amount of each substance by the total mixture amount, then multiply by 100 for percentages. For example, in a 5:1 ratio, Part A is 83.33% and Part B is 16.67% of the total.
For a 1:1 ratio, use equal amounts of both substances. If you need 100ml total, use 50ml of Part A and 50ml of Part B. Each component represents 50% of the final mixture.
A 2:1 mix ratio means you use 2 parts of the first substance to 1 part of the second substance. For example, 2 cups of Part A mixed with 1 cup of Part B creates a total of 3 cups of mixture.
Yes, this calculator works with various units including milliliters, liters, ounces, cups, grams, kilograms, and pounds. The ratios remain the same regardless of the unit used.
Epoxy and resins often require specific mixing ratios by weight or volume (like 5:1 or 100:15). Following the exact ratio is crucial for proper curing and optimal material properties.
Incorrect mixing ratios can result in poor performance, incomplete curing in chemicals, altered taste in food, or ineffective solutions. Always follow manufacturer specifications for critical applications.
Converting between weight and volume ratios requires knowing the density of each substance. This calculator helps with ratio calculations, but you may need to reference material density charts for conversions.
