Crop Budget Calculator (Per Acre)
Build a complete per-acre crop budget — seed to harvest — and see total cost, expected revenue and profit.
Profit = (yield × price) − sum of all input costs. The production cost per quintal is the most powerful line: compare it directly with the market price or MSP to know your true margin before sowing, and re-run with pessimistic yield/price to stress-test the crop.
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 Crop Budget Calculator (Per Acre)
Every profitable season starts on paper: a crop budget itemises what an acre will cost — seed, fertilizer, plant protection, labour, machinery, irrigation — against what it should earn, before a rupee is spent. This calculator builds that budget and surfaces the number that matters most: production cost per quintal, which you can hold directly against the mandi price or MSP. Budgeting also disciplines decisions mid-season ('can this crop still repay another spray?') and, re-run with lower yield and price, shows how much shock the crop can absorb before it loses money.

Frequently asked questions
How do I prepare a crop budget per acre?+
List every cost from field preparation to harvest — seed, fertilizer, plant protection, labour, machinery, irrigation, miscellaneous — then set expected yield × expected price against it. The difference is your planned profit; cost ÷ yield gives cost per quintal.
What yield and price should I assume?+
Use your own last 3-year average yield (not the best year) and a conservative price — the recent mandi modal price or MSP, whichever is realistic for how you sell. Re-run the budget at 80% yield and 90% price to see the downside case.
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.
