How this calculator works

Cost per stem = (price + delivery) ÷ stems, for each offer. The lower figure is the better value per stem.

Every figure is calculated in your browser from the values you enter, so nothing is sent anywhere and you can adjust the inputs freely to match your own quote.

Frequently asked questions

Is cost per stem the only thing that matters?

No. Flower type, stem length, bloom size, and freshness all affect value, and a bouquet of long-stem roses is not comparable stem-for-stem with a mixed bunch of filler flowers. Use cost per stem as one signal, and compare like with like.

Should delivery be included?

Yes, if you want the true cost. Two offers can flip order once a delivery charge is added, which is why the calculator includes it for both.

What counts as a stem?

One flower stem, before any filler or greenery. If a listing quotes a 'bunch' size, ask the seller how many stems it contains so you can enter a real number.

Why does the result show dollars to three decimals?

Cost per stem is often a small number, so it is shown to a thousandth of a dollar to keep the comparison precise.
