Available dough does not always divide neatly into the portion weight you want. The remainder should stay visible.

Choose a count or target ball weight and deduct any intended loss allowance once. Compare complete portions with the dough left at the end.

## Inputs and controls

* Total dough (g). Allowed range: 0.001 to 10000000
* Handling loss (%). Allowed range: 0 to 99
* Divide by: Number of equal portions; Target mass per portion
* Desired portions (portions). Allowed range: 1 to 10000
* Target ball mass (g). Allowed range: 0.001 to 10000000

## How to use

* Enter total dough and handling loss.

* Choose divide by. Enter desired portions and target ball mass.

## Why use this tool

Both portion modes help when you are planning from either a finished dough batch or a known serving count.


## Before relying on the result

Loss is deducted once. Target weight mode rounds down to complete portions and shows remaining dough.


## Tool limitations

Loss is deducted once. Target weight mode rounds down to complete portions and shows remaining dough.

## Questions

### Does target weight mode round portions up?

No. It counts complete portions and shows the remaining dough. A partial ball is not treated as a full serving.

### What should I check before using Dough Portion Calculator?

Check Total dough, Handling loss, Divide by and Desired portions. Use the exact units shown beside the controls and replace any example values with your own inputs.
