Nutri-Score calculator

The Nutri-Score counts negative points for energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt, and subtracts positive points for protein, fibre and fruit, vegetables and pulses. The lower the total, the better the grade, from A to E. The calculator uses the formula in force since 2024.

Nutri-Score

Example:

Nutri-Score A · −5 points

Calculated as food.

Negative points: 5
Positive points, counted: 10

The Nutri-Score compares products of the same kind. How balanced you eat depends on amounts and the mix.

Values from the label (per 100 g)

The calculator asks for:

What is it? (Food, Cheese, Red meat, Fat, oil, nuts, Drink)
Energy (kJ)
Sugars (g)
Saturated fat (g)
Fat (g)
Salt (g)
Protein (g)
Fibre (g, optional)
Fruit, veg, pulses (%, optional)
With sweeteners? (No, Yes)

The calculation runs in your browser. Your details are not saved and not sent anywhere.

Point tables for foods

Per 100 g. One point for each step the value exceeds.

Nutri-Score and our Health Score

The Nutri-Score compares packaged products of one kind in the supermarket. Our Health Score rates recipes, meals and your whole day. Both are guides, but they look at different things.

Nutri-Score and SmarTasty Health Score compared
	Nutri-Score	Health Score
Rates	products per 100 g or 100 ml	recipes, meals and your day
Scale	A to E	0 to 100
What counts	energy, sugars, saturated fat, salt, protein, fibre, fruit/veg/pulses	fast carbs, nutrient density, omega-3 & veg, fibre & variety, whole ingredients
Processing	does not count	counts (whole ingredients instead of ready-made)
Who calculates	the manufacturer, voluntarily	SmarTasty, for every recipe

We checked our Health Score against the Nutri-Score 2023 on 126 foods and dishes. How it works is explained on “The SmarTasty Health Score”.

How the calculator works

Negative points per 100 g: energy (0 to 10), sugars (0 to 15), saturated fat (0 to 10) and salt (0 to 20).
Positive points: protein (0 to 7), fibre (0 to 5) and fruit, vegetables, pulses (0 to 5).
Result = negative points − positive points. From 11 negative points protein is not counted, except for cheese. Red meat gets at most 2 protein points.
Fats, oils, nuts and seeds: instead of energy, the energy from saturated fat and its share of the fat count. Protein only counts under 7 negative points.
Drinks have their own tables for energy, sugars and protein; sweeteners add 4 negative points. Only water gets an A.

Example: Rolled oats: 1,559 kJ, 0.7 g sugars, 1.3 g saturated fat, 0.01 g salt, 13.5 g protein, 10 g fibre:

Negative points: energy 4 + sugars 0 + saturated fat 1 + salt 0 = 5
Positive points: protein 5 + fibre 5 + fruit/veg 0 = 10
5 − 10 = −5 points: Nutri-Score A

Good to know

Water is the only drink that always gets an A.
Since the update, milk, milk drinks and plant-based drinks count as drinks.
A calculator does not replace the manufacturer’s calculation: fruit, vegetables and pulses follow detailed rules, for example dried ingredients count double.

Frequently asked questions

How is the Nutri-Score calculated?

You count negative points for energy, sugars, saturated fat and salt and subtract positive points for protein, fibre and the share of fruit, vegetables and pulses. The total gives the grade: for foods A up to 0 points, B 1 to 2, C 3 to 10, D 11 to 18, E 19 and over.

What changed in 2024?

Sugars and salt count more strictly, fibre and protein have new steps, and nuts and oils no longer count as fruit and vegetables. Red meat gets at most 2 protein points, drinks with sweeteners 4 negative points. In Germany the new formula applies since 2024 and to all products with a Nutri-Score since 2026.

Why does olive oil get a B and butter an E?

Olive oil has little saturated fat, and olives count as fruit for oils, so it lands at B. Butter is over 60% saturated fat and lands at E.

How do Nutri-Score and Health Score relate?

The Nutri-Score rates a single product per 100 g. Our Health Score rates whole recipes, meals and your day from 0 to 100 and also counts how processed something is. See the comparison above.

Can I enter kcal instead of kJ?

Multiply kcal by 4.184: 100 kcal are 418 kJ, 370 kcal are 1,548 kJ.

Are my details saved?

No. The calculator works in your browser and sends nothing.
