Brine Calculator

Work out the right amount of salt (and optional sugar) for a meat or poultry brine. Choose standard submersion brining — salt as a percentage of the water — or the modern equilibrium method, where the brine is formulated so the meat and liquid reach a target final salt concentration together. Pick your salt (table, Diamond Crystal or Morton kosher, fine sea) and the grams are also given in teaspoons and tablespoons, since salt density varies a lot by type. Pure arithmetic, in your browser.
