How to calculate the lithium to potassium chloride ratio
Lithium to Potassium Chloride ratio = Lithium price per Metric Ton ÷ Potassium Chloride price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of potassium chloride per Metric Ton of lithium — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $160,500.00 ÷ $405.00 = 396.3. The inverse is 0.002523.
