What Is a Pearson Square Calculator?
The Pearson Square Calculator is a simple yet powerful tool used to calculate the correct proportions of two ingredients with different concentrations to achieve a desired final concentration. It is commonly used in animal nutrition, food formulation, dairy mixing, feed formulation, and various laboratory applications.
This tool helps users quickly determine the exact parts of each ingredient needed without doing complex math — making it ideal for students, nutritionists, feed manufacturers, and professionals who regularly work with formula balancing.
How the Pearson Square Method Works
The Pearson Square method follows a straightforward calculation:
- Enter the desired concentration of the final mixture.
- Add the concentration of ingredient A.
- Add the concentration of ingredient B.
- The calculator automatically generates:
- The difference between each ingredient and the target value
- The exact ratio of ingredient A to ingredient B
- The final mixing proportions
This ensures accuracy and saves time compared to manual calculations.

1) What is Pearson’s Square Calculator used for?
Pearson’s Square Calculator helps you quickly mix two different concentrations (Ingredient A and Ingredient B) to reach a target concentration. It’s commonly used in feed mixing, fertilizer blending, solution dilution, and lab-style mixtures.
2) What values do I need to use the Pearson’s Square method?
You only need:
Ingredient A concentration (higher %)
Ingredient B concentration (lower %)
Target concentration (must be between A and B)
The calculator then returns the mixing ratio (parts) and/or percentage split.
3) Why must the target concentration be between A and B?
Because Pearson’s Square works only when one ingredient is above the target and the other is below the target.
If your target is higher than both (or lower than both), it’s impossible to reach that target using only those two inputs.
4) Can the calculator tell me exact weights (kg, g, liters)?
Yes—if you enter a total amount (like 1000 g or 10 kg), the tool can convert the ratio into exact weights for Ingredient A and Ingredient B, so you know exactly how much of each to mix.
