Crop Profit Calculator — Profit per Acre
Plan the season with real numbers. Choose your crop, enter the area, expected yield and price, and your costs per acre. The calculator shows total cost, production, revenue, profit, profit per acre and your break-even price.
Updated
Results are estimates for planning. Actual figures depend on local conditions, prices and quotes — verify before making decisions.
Formula
Revenue = Area × Yield × Price + By-product income
Total cost = Area × Cost per acre
Profit = Revenue − Total cost
Profit per acre = Profit ÷ Area
Cost per maund (cost of production) = Total cost ÷ Production. Comparing it with the market price shows your margin per maund.
Examples
Wheat, 1 acre
Estimated profit: Rs 48,500 on 1 acre (Rs 48,500 per acre)
Maize, 5 acres
Estimated profit: Rs 315,000 (3.15 lakh) on 5 acre (Rs 63,000 per acre)

Important information
- All outputs are estimates for planning. Real results depend on variety, sowing date, soil, water, weather, pests and management.
- Default prices and costs are examples only — replace them with this season's prices from your local market and dealers.
- 1 maund = 40 kg. Areas can be entered in acres, kanal (1/8 acre) or hectares.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate crop profit per acre?
Multiply yield (maund/acre) by price per maund, add any by-product income, and subtract all costs per acre.
What costs should I include?
Land preparation, seed, fertilizer, sprays, irrigation (canal water charges, diesel or electricity), labour, harvesting/threshing, transport, and land rent if leased.
What is cost of production per maund?
Total cost divided by total maunds produced. If it is higher than the market price, the crop loses money at that yield.
How do I reduce my cost per maund?
Increase yield (timely sowing, balanced fertilizer, good seed) or cut costs that do not add yield.
