THE DETAILS MATTER

Different nations.
Different rules.

For standard retail alcoholic drinks. Always check the original guidance for your premises and transaction.

Wales · 65p per unit

Effective 1 October 2026. Multiply £0.65 × ABV × total litres. Round to the nearest penny, with half a penny rounded up. Drinks at or below 1.2% ABV are excluded from Welsh MUP.

Welsh Government guidance ↗
Scotland · 65p per unit

Multiply £0.65 × ABV × total litres and round up to the next penny. Multipack and promotion rules also apply. For drinks at or below 1.2% ABV, consult the guidance; this tool does not return a Scottish minimum.

Scottish Government guidance ↗
England & Northern Ireland

This calculator does not return a minimum selling price for England or Northern Ireland. Do not interpret this as permission to sell at any price. England’s duty-plus-VAT rule needs a separate calculation.

Photos, label reading & privacy

Photos are processed in your browser and are not uploaded by this app. The reader downloads OCR software and English language data from third-party CDNs. Label recognition can miss or misread text: always confirm the result. Barcode lookups send only the barcode to Open Food Facts, a community-maintained database licensed under ODbL. Coverage and accuracy vary. Live label frames are processed on your device. No manufacturer RRP is used. Photos are not saved. When signed in, confirmed products and calculation history are stored for your account. The shared catalogue contains products confirmed by the administrator. Your selected nation is saved in this browser; use the Forget nation button to remove it.
