About Expected Crop Revenue Calculator

Before sowing โ€” and again before selling โ€” it pays to estimate what a crop will actually earn. This tool turns your expected yield, the market price, the area and the cost of cultivation into gross revenue, profit, profit per acre and the benefit-cost ratio. Comparing the B:C ratio of different crops is the foundation of crop-choice decisions; a ratio above 1 means the crop is profitable, and the higher it is, the better the return on each rupee spent.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate expected crop revenue and profit?+

Multiply expected yield by price for revenue, then subtract the total cost of cultivation for profit. Per acre: profit = (yield/acre ร— price) โˆ’ cost/acre. This tool also gives the benefit-cost ratio (revenue รท cost).

What is a good benefit-cost ratio in farming?+

A B:C ratio above 1 means the crop returns more than it costs. Many viable field crops run 1.3โ€“2.0; high-value horticulture can be higher. Compare crops on B:C, but also weigh risk, water use and market access.

Is this tool free and private?+

Yes โ€” free, no sign-up, and all calculation runs in your browser, so it works offline and your data never leaves the device.
