About this calculator
Calculate how much meat, cheese, crackers, and accompaniments you need for a charcuterie board based on guest count and whether it's an appetizer or main.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much charcuterie do I need per person?
As an appetizer, plan for about 1.5-2 oz each of meat and cheese per guest. As a main course, double those amounts.
Should I adjust for dietary restrictions?
Yes, consider adding vegetarian options like extra cheese, nuts, or vegetables if some guests don't eat meat.
How far in advance can I prepare a charcuterie board?
Meats and cheeses can be sliced and stored up to a day ahead; assemble crackers and fresh fruit just before serving.
