Batai / Sharecropping Split Calculator
Split crop revenue and input costs fairly between landowner and tenant under any batai arrangement.
Each party's net = their crop share − the input costs they bear. Common patterns: 50:50 with tenant bearing all inputs (adha batai); 1/3 to owner where tenant bears everything; 50:50 on both produce AND inputs. The fair split depends on who contributes land, water, inputs and labour.
Indicative planning figures based on published research averages. Local soil tests, varieties and weather change actual requirements — confirm with your agronomist or extension officer.

About Batai / Sharecropping Split Calculator
Batai (sharecropping) arrangements come in many local flavours — half-share with tenant paying all inputs, one-third to the owner, or 50:50 on both crop and costs — and disputes usually trace back to arithmetic never done clearly at the start. This calculator splits any arrangement transparently: enter gross revenue, the owner's crop share and how input costs are divided, and it shows each party's true net income. The fairness check matters: in a 50:50 crop split where the tenant bears all input costs, a mediocre harvest can leave the tenant negative while the owner still profits — exactly the scenario worth renegotiating before sowing, not after.

Frequently asked questions
How does the batai (sharecropping) system work?+
The landowner provides land (sometimes water/inputs) and the tenant farms it; the harvest is shared in an agreed ratio — commonly 50:50 where the tenant bears input costs, or 1/3–2/3 owner–tenant in some regions. Net incomes depend on both the crop share and who pays inputs.
What is a fair batai share?+
It should mirror contributions: if the tenant bears all inputs and labour, a 50:50 crop split gives the owner a large effective return on bare land — many consider 1/3 owner fairer there. If the owner shares input costs 50:50, an equal crop split is more defensible. Run both scenarios here.
Is this tool free and private?+
Yes — free, no sign-up, and all calculation runs in your browser, so it works offline at the farm and your data never leaves the device.
