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