Meal kit pricing, Australia

What will one box cost you every week — after the offer?

Every meal kit advertises a price per serve that is not the price you keep paying. The number that runs for fifty-two weeks is the one with delivery counted, the introductory discount removed, and any area surcharge the provider never told you about. This calculator works that out from prices each provider published — and when a provider did not publish part of it, says so instead of filling the gap.

My Foodie Box publishes no price for this box, so it is not in the comparison.

A “+” means that figure is a floor: the provider does not publish enough of the cost to give a settled number. No figure here is exact.

Work out what one box actually costs you

Three answers, and an optional fourth for an offer you were actually shown. Nothing is sent anywhere — the arithmetic runs in your browser against prices each provider published on 2026-10-04, and every number points back to the page it came from.

Only providers that publish an Australian price table are listed. A provider missing here is not a judgement on it — it means no readable price page was found.

Count everyone who actually eats from this box. Providers publish 2, 4 and 6-person boxes; the calculation below never adds the price of servings nobody eats.

One recipe serves one person once. Limits are per box size, not per provider — a 6-person box may stop at 5 meals while a 4-person box runs to 6.

Is an introductory offer being counted?

No provider published a discount amount we could verify on 2026-10-04, so this site will not fill one in for you. If you have been shown an offer, enter your own figures and both sides are shown.

No account, no email, no cookies, no tracking. The button runs a calculation on this page — there is nothing to submit anywhere.

Choose a provider, a household size and a meal count, then press “Work out my weekly cost”.

Nothing is preselected and no offer amount is filled in for you — this site will not invent a discount and then call it a price.

Start from the decision you are actually making

Each of these answers one question. Not all of them need the calculator.

Find out what one box costs you

Three answers, then weekly, monthly, yearly and per-serve figures, with delivery counted the way the provider counts it.

Understand why a price is a floor

Per-serving versus per-box, shipping that is included versus unknown, and the four different reasons a total cannot be exact.

Read a per-serve headline properly

Why “$8.25 per serve” is not $8.25 × your meals, and what a box price already containing shipping does to the maths.

Price an offer you were actually shown

What an introductory discount changes, what it does not change, and how to work out the week the real price starts.

Decide how big a box to order

Why a cheaper per-serve price can cost more overall when half the box is never eaten.

Check where every number came from

2 providers with a readable price table, the page each figure came from, and the date it was read.

What this site will not do

  • It does not rank meal kits or publish a “best box”. This site has never received a box from any of these providers, so a taste or quality score would be invented.
  • It does not publish discount codes or claim a lowest price. No introductory offer could be verified from a first-party page on 2026-10-04, so the default figure is the ongoing one.
  • It does not earn a commission from any link on this site. A paid link would make “independent” a word rather than a fact.
  • It does not tell you a box is deliverable to your address. Delivery coverage is per postcode and changes, so the calculator sends you to the provider's own check.
  • It does not collect anything. No email, no postcode, no dietary or health record, no chatbot.
