How it works
- w = Salt mass/(Water mass+Salt mass); Salt mass = Water mass×w/(1−w); 0 ≤ w < 1
- Worked example: 1000×0.05/0.95 ≈ 52.631578947 g; 50/(1000+50)×100 ≈ 4.761904762%
- Supported input limits: Water mass: 1e-12 ≤ x ≤ 1000000000000; Salt / total solution mass (%): 0 ≤ x ≤ 99.999999; Salt mass: 0 ≤ x ≤ 1000000000000
Assumptions and limitations
Masses use grams. Salt concentration is salt divided by total solution mass. These calculations do not determine cooking time, temperature, fermentation or food safety.
