What is Alcohol Content Calculator?

▾

An alcohol content calculator computes ABV (Alcohol By Volume) for home-brewed beer or wine using original gravity and final gravity measurements. It also calculates the number of units in a drink for health guidance.

How to Alcohol Content Calculator

▾

1Simple ABV: (OG − FG) / 7.46 (for beer, using SG points)
2More accurate: ABV = 76.08 × (OG − FG) / (1.775 − OG) × FG / 0.794
3Units in a drink: volume (ml) × ABV (%) / 1,000

Worked Examples

▾

Example 1

Given:OG 1.060 · FG 1.010

Result:ABV ≈ 6.6%

(1.060−1.010)/7.46×1000 = 6.7

Example 2

Given:500ml beer at 5% ABV

Result:2.5 units

500×5/1000=2.5
