Minimum Unit Pricing Calculator

In January 2022, Ireland will introduce Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) for alcohol. This means any retailer, bar, restaurant or hotel will be required to charge a minimum price for alcohol based on the grams of alcohol in the drink.

​

The rate which must be charged is 10c per gram of alcohol. One ml of alcohol is equal to approximately 0.79 grams and so calculating this required a little work.

​

This calculator will work it out for you! For example, if you have a 750ml (or 75cl) bottle of wine that is 12.5% strength. Enter 750 and 12.5 into the calculator below and it will give you the minimum price which must be charged for that bottle.
