How this tool works

The Sodium Per Serving Calculator multiplies a sodium-per-serving value by the number of servings consumed.

Inputs

  • Sodium per 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 entered sodium value applies to one serving of the food.

Limitations

The calculation does not assess the overall nutritional quality of a food or determine a personal sodium target.
