Method
Production = Yield × Area; Sold = Production × (1 − Loss%); Gross = Sold × Price + Other income × Area; Net = Gross − Sold × Selling cost
- Yield
- units per acre or hectare
- Loss%
- post-harvest loss
- Selling cost
- cost per unit sold
Worked example
- Production = 25 × 10 = 250 q; after 4% loss, 240 q are sold.
- Gross = 240 × ₹2,200 = ₹5,28,000; selling costs = 240 × ₹50 = ₹12,000.
- Net = ₹5,16,000, or ₹51,600 per acre.
Ten acres at 25 q/acre sold at ₹2,200 bring about ₹5,16,000 after losses and selling costs.
What the result means
This is revenue, not profit: subtract growing costs to find the margin (see the farm gross margin calculator).
Assumptions and limits
- All sellable produce is sold at the one price entered.
- Other income is per unit area harvested.
- Does not model price changes during storage or quality discounts.
Questions
What counts as post-harvest loss?
Shrinkage in drying, storage losses, pests and handling damage between harvest and sale.
Can I use bushels or tonnes?
Yes. Use the same unit for yield and price; the calculator works with any unit.
