How is pour cost percentage calculated for a bar?

Pour cost percentage equals bottle cost multiplied by the pour volume in milliliters (using 29.5735 ml per US fluid ounce), divided by total bottle volume in milliliters, then divided by the drink menu price and multiplied by 100. Most independent bars target 18% to 24% pour cost.
