Sandwich quantity calculator
Planning sandwiches for a group is easier when the serving plan is clear. Enter your guest count, choose whether sandwiches are the main meal or part of a larger spread, then set a buffer and serving cut. The calculator rounds up to whole sandwiches and shows the piece count for your platter. Treat the portions as planning estimates; appetites, sandwich size, and other food on the table all matter.

How it works
- 01
Multiply the guest count by the selected full-sandwich portion: 1 for a main meal, 0.75 for a light meal with sides, or 0.5 for an appetizer spread.
- 02
Add the selected buffer and round up to whole sandwiches.
- 03
The cut setting changes the piece count only. Halves and quarters do not change the amount of food you prepare.
