MSP Income Calculator
Calculate your income if you sell at MSP, compare it with the open-market price, and see the difference.
Income = quantity × price. MSP is announced each season by the Government of India (CACP recommendation) for 22+ crops, set at ≥150% of A2+FL cost. Enter the current season's MSP for your crop — procurement happens through registered centres with quality (FAQ) norms.
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 MSP Income Calculator
When procurement opens, every selling farmer faces the same comparison: registered MSP procurement versus the local mandi's cash price — and the right answer changes by crop, season and even week. This tool multiplies your marketable quantity by both prices and shows the rupee difference. Remember the practical frictions on each side: MSP requires registration, slots, FAQ quality norms and sometimes payment lag, while mandi sales are instant but price-volatile. Knowing the exact gap in rupees (not just per quintal) lets you judge whether the MSP premium is worth the process for your lot size.

Frequently asked questions
How is MSP income calculated?+
Quantity in quintals × the crop's announced MSP. For 50 quintals of wheat at ₹2,425 MSP, income is ₹1,21,250. Compare against the same quantity at your mandi's modal price to see which channel pays more for your lot.
Why is the mandi price sometimes above MSP?+
When demand is strong or supply tight (or quality is premium), open-market prices exceed MSP — then selling in the mandi is better. MSP acts as a floor in surplus years; in deficit years the market often clears above it, especially for pulses and oilseeds.
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.
