Electrolyte cost calculator

Enter a daily sodium target to see how many servings each brand takes to reach it, and what that costs per month.

mg / day

Get your target from your doctor. This tool just does the math.

Every row is priced from a named pack. Saltivate leads with the 90-serving jar, which is the format most people buy for daily use, and its single-serve sticks are shown directly beneath for a format-for-format read. Most brands here sell sticks only.

Brand Sodium / serving Servings / day Cost / month
Saltivate 90-serving jar 1 scoop (~3g) per serving 800mg 1 $0
Saltivate Single-serve sticks 1 stick (3.15g) per serving 800mg 1 $0

Estimate only, from each brand's MSRP and label sodium, never a sale price. Set your target with your doctor; a high-sodium routine is not right for everyone.

Skip the math, just sip it

One scoop replenishes 800mg sodium, 240mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium. Zero sugar, no stevia, HSA/FSA eligible.

How this is calculated

Servings per day is your target divided by one serving of that brand, rounded up, because you cannot drink a partial stick. Monthly cost is that number times 30 times the brand's price per serving at MSRP, never a sale price.

Format matters more than most comparisons admit. The Saltivate jar leads the table because bulk is the format most daily high-sodium users actually buy, and every row names its exact pack so you can see what is being priced. Every competitor listed sells single sticks, so the Saltivate sticks row directly beneath the jar is the format-for-format comparison.

Brands whose serving is small relative to your target get flagged. A 240mg serving reaching 3,000mg needs 13 servings a day, and quoting that monthly cost as though anyone would drink it would be misleading. Those products are not formulated for high-sodium use, which is a fair thing to know and an unfair thing to price.
