Exhibit 7.1

Calculation of Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges (times)

The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is determined using the following applicable factors:

Earnings available for fixed charges are calculated, first, by determining the sum of: (a) net profit before taxation and the Unilever Group’s share of net profit/(loss) of joint ventures and associates; (b) dividend income receivable from joint ventures and associates; and (c) fixed charges, as defined below.

Fixed charges are calculated as the sum of: (a) finance costs (both expensed and capitalized); and (b) one-third of lease costs (e.g., that portion of rental expense that is representative of the interest factor).
