How to find the cheapest toilet paper per sheet

Divide the pack's price by its total sheets (rolls × sheets per roll), then multiply by 100 to get the price per 100 sheets. The pack with the lower number is cheaper per sheet.

The method

  1. Find the sheets per roll on the pack. It's usually in small print near the roll count.
  2. Multiply by the number of rolls to get the total sheets.
  3. Divide the price by the total sheets and multiply by 100.
  4. Do the same for every pack and compare.

A worked example

With made-up prices (they're examples, not real store prices):

Pack B (Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong Mega, 12 rolls, $13.49) is the better deal: 17% cheaper per sheet than Pack A (Charmin Ultra Soft Mega XL, 6 rolls, $9.99).

Why shelf tags mislead

Per sheet or per square foot?

Per sheet is the simplest. When sheet sizes differ, price per square foot is fairer. The calculator shows both, and Area × ply if you care about thickness.
