Cold-pressed juice at a juice bar costs $7–$14 per 16 oz bottle. Making the same juice at home with conventional produce typically costs $1.50–$4.00. Enter your ingredients below to find your exact cost per serving — and how much you save versus store-bought.
The calculator accounts for each ingredient's juice yield (how many ounces of juice you actually get per pound of produce) so your result reflects real-world cost, not just ingredient price.
Based on average U.S. supermarket prices for conventional produce (May 2026). Organic adds roughly 30–50%.

Four variables determine how much your homemade juice actually costs:
For a detailed breakdown of juicing costs, see our guide: How Much Does Home Juicing Cost? (We Did the Math)
Homemade juice typically costs $1.50–$4.00 per 16 oz serving. Conventional carrot-apple-ginger blends run $1.50–$2.00. Organic or specialty ingredients (beet, turmeric, dragonfruit) push to $3–$4. Use the calculator above to find your exact number based on what you actually pay.
60–80% cheaper per glass. Cold-pressed juice at juice bars and grocery stores runs $7–$14 per 16 oz bottle. Homemade costs $1.50–$4.00 for the same volume. A mid-range juicer ($150–$300) typically pays for itself in 2–6 weeks for a daily juicer.
Carrots (~$0.80/lb, 65% yield), celery (~$1.20/bunch, 72% yield), and apples (~$1.50/lb, 70% yield) are the lowest cost per ounce of juice. These three form the base of most budget recipes at under $1.50 per 16 oz serving. See our Cheapest Fruits and Vegetables to Juice guide for the full list.
Yes — a cold-press masticating juicer typically extracts 10–20% more juice from the same produce compared to centrifugal. On carrots and leafy greens the difference can reach 25%. Over time this meaningfully reduces cost per serving, especially if you juice daily. See our Best Masticating Juicers guide.
