Percent Daily Value Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Percent Daily Value (PDV):

\[ PDV = \left( \frac{TC}{DV} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

\(PDV\) is the Percent Daily Value in percentage
\(TC\) is the Total Consumed amount of the nutrient
\(DV\) is the Recommended Daily Value of the nutrient

What is Percent Daily Value?

A percent daily value, or %DV for short, is a term used to describe the ratio, in terms of a percent, of the total amount of a nutrient someone has consumed with respect to the recommended daily amount.

Recommended Daily Nutrient Values

Nutrient	Daily Amount
Carbohydrates	275g
Fat	78g
Protein	50g
Sodium	2300mg
Sugars	50g
Vitamin C	90mg
Vitamin D	20mcg
Vitamin B6	1.7mg
Zinc	11mg

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Consumed (\(TC\)) = 20g of Protein
Recommended Daily Value (\(DV\)) = 50g of Protein

Using the formula:

\[ PDV = \left( \frac{20}{50} \right) \times 100 = 40 \% \]

The Percent Daily Value is 40%.
