Example 1
- 500 mg
- factor 3
1500
How much sodium at 500 mg and factor 3? 1500. A bare number, no mg.
Daily sodium (mg)
Type milligrams and a factor. 500 × 3 gives 1500. 200 × 2 gives 400. 800 × 1 gives 800. The result has no unit. A product, not a guidance cap.
Not a clinic verdict and not a WHO limit. The calculator multiplies two fields. The result label may say limit; the code still prints the product.

How it works
Daily sodium in this calculator is milligrams times a factor. 500 × 3 = 1500. The result is 1500, with no mg and no word limit. 200 × 2 = 400. 800 × 1 = 800. No table threshold sits in the formula.
Field a is a serving in mg. Field b is the factor: three servings, two meals, one product. 500 and 3 give 1500 because that is how the code multiplies. It does not check whether 1500 is „too much”.
WHO and national guidance often sit near 2000 mg sodium per day, sometimes lower. This calculator does not insert that. You compare 1500 with 2000 yourself. 800 × 1 stays 800 even when the label talks about a limit.
Table salt is not this field. 1 g of salt is about 400 mg sodium, but there is no NaCl converter here. You already type sodium in mg, then times b.
Type mg, type the factor, then Calculate. A comma in 500.5 parses. Zero times anything is 0. A sum sketch, not a clinic diet.
500 × 3 gives 1500. 200 × 2 gives 400. 800 × 1 gives 800. The result is a bare number, as a bare result string.
Formula
result = a × b (bare number, no unit)
How to use
- Type sodium in mg, for example 500.
- Type the factor, for example 3.
- Click Calculate. The result is 1500, with no unit.
- 200 and 2 give 400. 800 and 1 give 800.
- This is not a WHO limit. The calculator does not compare 1500 with 2000.
500 × 3 = 1500
Daily sodium is a × b. 500 × 3 shows 1500, with no unit. This is not a WHO limit.
- sodium
- Field a in mg. 500 × 3 gives 1500. There is no table-salt converter here.
- factor
- Field b. Three servings at 500 give 1500. One at 800 gives 800.
- WHO
- Guidance often sits near 2000 mg per day. This calculator does not put that in the formula.

Common questions
How much sodium at 500 mg and factor 3?
1500. The calculator shows String(1500), with no mg.
Is 1500 a WHO limit?
No. WHO is often about 2000 mg per day. Here only the product 500 × 3.
What about 200 and 2?
400. Again a bare number.
What about 800 and 1?
800. Factor 1 leaves the same entry.
Why is there no mg on the result?
That is how the script is written: the result string = String(result). No unit.
Does the calculator convert salt to sodium?
No. You already type sodium in mg. 1 g of salt is not this field.
Does the limit label change the formula?
No. The label may say limit; the code multiplies a × b.
Is 1500 too much?
The calculator does not judge that. Not a clinic verdict.
Does a comma in 500.5 work?
Yes. 500.5 × 2 gives 1001.
