PEPTIDE COST CALCULATOR
Peptide pricing varies wildly between suppliers. A 5mg BPC-157 vial costs $25-$80 depending on source. Over a 6-week protocol, that's the difference between $75 and $240.
This calculator shows you cost per dose, cost per week, and total protocol cost. Enter your peptide price, vial size, and weekly dosage to see if you're overpaying or getting a deal.
How cost per dose works:
Example: $40 for 5mg BPC-157 vial, taking 350mcg daily
5mg = 5,000mcg total
350mcg per dose = 14.3 doses per vial
$40 ÷ 14.3 doses = $2.80 per dose
Daily dosing = $2.80/day × 7 = $19.60 per week
6-week protocol = $117.60 total
Compare that to $80 vial from expensive supplier:
Same math = $5.59 per dose
$39.13 per week
$234.78 for 6 weeks
You just saved $117 by shopping smart.

General pricing rules:
Budget tier ($): Likely underdosed or questionable quality. Risk not worth savings.
Fair tier ($$): Sweet spot. Good quality, reasonable price. Most reputable suppliers.
Premium tier ($$$): Overpriced. You're paying for marketing, not better peptides.
Scam tier ($$$$): Avoid. Charging 3-5x fair market value. Preying on uninformed buyers.

Cost-saving strategies:
Buy larger vials:
10mg vials usually better per-mg price than 5mg
Only if you'll use it before expiration
Bulk purchases:
Many suppliers offer 10-20% off for buying multiple vials
Stock up on peptides you use regularly
Avoid "kits" and "bundles":
Pre-packaged kits often marked up 30-50%
Buy components separately
Don't chase cheapest:
Under-market pricing = quality concerns
Fake peptides waste your money and time
Mid-tier pricing is the smart play
VARIABLES
What affects peptide pricing
Vial size markup:
Per-mg cost decreases with larger vials:
2mg vial: $25 = $12.50 per mg
5mg vial: $40 = $8.00 per mg
10mg vial: $70 = $7.00 per mg
Always calculate cost per milligram, not just vial price.
Purity levels:
95% purity: Budget option, acceptable for most research 98% purity: Standard, what most suppliers provide 99%+ purity: Premium, minimal practical difference from 98%
Don't overpay for 99.5% vs 98%. The 1.5% difference doesn't justify 50% price increase.
COA (Certificate of Analysis):
Third-party lab testing costs money, reflected in price:
No COA: Cheaper, but questionable
Generic COA: Moderate price
Batch-specific COA: Slightly premium
Batch-specific COA worth small premium for peace of mind.
Domestic vs international:
Domestic shipping (US-based):
Higher prices (+20-40%)
Faster shipping (2-5 days)
Less customs risk
Better customer service
International shipping (China):
Lower prices
Slower shipping (2-4 weeks)
Customs seizure risk
Communication challenges
Most people prefer domestic for peace of mind despite higher cost.
Brand name vs generic:
Some suppliers charge premium for "pharmaceutical grade" labeling. It's marketing. The peptide is the peptide. Don't pay 2x for a fancy label.
