Step 1Answer one question at a time. Your example values stay available.
Important limit
RACC is a reference amount, not always the label serving.
Serving-size rules differ for discrete units, large discrete units, bulk products, single-serving containers, and packages containing 200% to 300% of the RACC. Confirm the category, household measure, metric rounding, dual-column requirements, and current 21 CFR 101.9 and 101.12 rules.

Spreadsheet questions
Using this tool as an Excel workbook
Use the browser calculator for speed, then take the result into the spreadsheet workflow that fits your business.
Can I export the FDA Serving Size & RACC Calculator to Excel?
Yes. Enter your information, review the live result, and select Export to Excel. Batch Scale creates a branded .xlsx workbook with your inputs and the result shown by the tool.
What is included in the FDA Serving Size & RACC Excel Spreadsheet?
The workbook includes a Tool Result sheet, an Inputs sheet, the original calculator link, and the date generated. When a supported calculator has an Excel formula profile, its result cells remain connected to the editable input cells.
Can I use the spreadsheet in Google Sheets?
You can import the .xlsx workbook into Google Sheets. Because spreadsheet applications sometimes interpret formulas and formatting differently, confirm any important result after importing—especially before using it for pricing, safety, compliance, or production.
Is the Excel download free?
Yes. The calculator and workbook are free. The first Excel export on a device asks for your email and permission to receive occasional practical Batch Scale resources. Once captured, later tool exports on that device download directly.
