1. What is a Lego Price to Part Calculator?

Definition: This calculator determines the price per individual Lego piece based on the total set cost and number of parts.

Purpose: It helps Lego enthusiasts and collectors compare the value of different sets and make informed purchasing decisions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Price per part (USD)
• \( C \) — Total cost of the Lego set (USD)
• \( N \) — Number of parts in the set

Explanation: The total cost is divided by the number of parts to determine the average cost per piece.

3. Importance of Price Per Part Calculation

Details: This metric helps compare the relative value of different Lego sets, as sets with more pieces generally offer better value.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total cost of the Lego set in USD and the number of parts listed on the box. All values must be > 0.
