Formula used

Parts ratio method
If the mix is C:W and your final volume is V:
  • Concentrate = V × C ÷ (C + W)
  • Water = V − Concentrate
Percent method
If the desired percent is P and the final volume is V:
  • Concentrate = V × (P ÷ 100)
  • Water = V − Concentrate
Unit conversions are handled internally using milliliters for consistent math.
