Here you will find the most accurate edible dosage calculator available online to help you guesstimate the potency of your cannabis edibles, recipes, and homemade creations.
Before Using This Calculator
Welcome to my dosage calculator for cannabis edibles and homemade recipes!
While a calculator is no replacement for lab testing, this tool will help you get a guesstimate of the potency of your cannabis infusions and extractions.
Unlike other calculators available online, this calculator hopes to provide more accuracy by accounting for the losses associated with decarboxylation, infusion oils, or extraction solvents used.
Before using this calculator, you will need to know two things:
- The amount of cannabis you are putting into the recipe - in grams (remember, there are 28 grams in one ounce)
- The percent of THC or CBD present in your material
If you have these numbers available, you can get started with the calculator below, the results are shown in pink.
Step 1: Calculate Potency For the Entire Batch
In this first section, you can calculate the potency of your infused product that can later be used directly in your recipe using the second section of this calculator.

Dear Emily,
I made a tincture of 14 g (1/2 oz) 18% thc. How much is a good dosage in tsps for this. I was vaping but now am going to start with edibles. Thank you
I have read your dosing section and still do not completely understand as I am having a hard time feeling anything. I seem to feel best at 2 tsp.
Emily Kyle
Hello JoAnn! Have you considered evaporating any of the alcohol in your tincture? This will help eliminate some of the burn, and it will concentrate your tincture, meaning you will need to take less overall. Here's my evaporation guide to get started. Just keep in mind that your total mg (14x.18x1000=2,520mg) will remain the same, regardless of how much alcohol you evaporate out.

Love your site, and this recipe! It's almost the same one I've been using. Love your exact directions, Thank you!
The only difference is in blooming the gelatin. When I bloom the gelatin, I have so much more volume than if I don't, does blowing matter?
Emily Kyle
Hey Connie, thanks for your kind words; I'm happy you like the gummy recipe. The expanded volume is just fine; in fact, that's exactly what you want! It usually comes out in one solid lump when I add it to the mix 🙂

hello! i made 1 cup of coconut oil infused with 20g of cannabis. the thc is 22% and it made 150 gummies. how much thc is in each serving? and how much is a serving for 1in gummies?
Emily Kyle
Hi there. Did you use the entire 1 cup of coconut oil in the recipe, or just a 1/2 cup as called for? Using the calculator, the total THC in the 1 cup of coconut oil would be 3190.46mg. If you used half a cup that would be 1595.23mg. If you made 150 gummies out of that, you would have 10.63mg per gummy 🙂

I started this recipe and wouldn't you know it I forgot to decarb in step 1. Well I got to thinking that if I already had the cannabis in a jar with alcohol ( a story for a different post). So what I'm doing is a controlled heating of the jar in water at a steady 200 degrees F and I think I can decarb and reduce the liquid at the same time and then proceed with the other steps. Please tell me I didn't mess up to bad with my first time trying FECO production.
Emily Kyle
Yes, you should be able to achieve decarboxylation at the end. Good luck!
