Interactive sodium tool

Nutrition Label Sodium Calculator

Enter the sodium listed for one serving and the number of servings you ate.

How to interpret the result

The result is an estimate based on the values you enter. Reference comparisons provide context, not a personal sodium prescription.

Medical information limits

If you have a medical condition or an individualized sodium restriction, follow guidance from your qualified healthcare professional. Read the medical disclaimer.

How this tool works

The Nutrition Label Sodium Calculator estimates sodium consumed when you eat more or less than one labelled serving.

Inputs

  • Sodium per labelled serving in milligrams (mg)
  • Number of servings eaten

Method

Total sodium = sodium per serving × servings eaten. FDA Daily Value percentage = total sodium ÷ 2,300 mg × 100.

Assumptions

The label sodium value and serving amount are current and the number of servings eaten is estimated correctly.

Limitations

The FDA Daily Value is a label reference, not an individualized medical target.
