Trick-or-Treat Candy Calculator: Don't Run Out on Halloween Night

Nothing ends a Halloween night worse than turning off the porch light early because the candy bowl is empty. This calculator estimates exactly how many pieces (and bags) to buy based on how many trick-or-treaters you expect.

The Formula

Total Pieces = Expected Trick-or-Treaters × Candy per Kid, Bags Needed = ceil(Total Pieces / Pieces per Bag)

Worked Example

60 expected trick-or-treaters, 3 pieces each, 105 pieces per bag.

Total Pieces = 60 × 3 = 180, Bags Needed = ceil(180/105) = 2 bags
