Calculate crop margin, gross margin, net margin, revenue per acre, variable cost per acre, fixed cost per acre, profit per acre, margin percentage, break-even yield, and break-even price. Use this crop margin calculator for corn, soybeans, wheat, hay, vegetables, specialty crops, and other farm enterprises.
Crop revenue:
The calculator adjusts yield for shrink or loss, multiplies by price, and adds other income per acre.
Gross margin:
Variable costs are subtracted from revenue per acre to estimate gross margin per acre.
Net margin:
Fixed and ownership costs are also subtracted to estimate net margin per acre.
Break-even:
Total cost per acre is divided by marketable yield or price to estimate break-even price and break-even yield.
A crop margin calculator helps compare revenue, input costs, and profit potential before planting, harvesting, or selling a crop.
It can help compare crop price, yield, shrink, seed cost, fertilizer cost, chemical cost, fuel, labor, harvest, insurance, machinery, land, overhead, gross margin, net margin, and break-even numbers.
Your result shows estimated crop revenue, variable cost, fixed cost, gross margin per acre, net margin per acre, margin percentage, total gross margin, total net margin, break-even price, break-even yield, and target margin price. These are estimates based on the values you enter.
Calculate crop revenue per acre, then subtract crop costs. Gross margin subtracts variable costs, while net margin also subtracts fixed and ownership costs.
Gross margin per acre is revenue per acre minus variable production costs such as seed, fertilizer, chemical, fuel, labor, harvest, irrigation, and insurance.
Net margin per acre is revenue per acre minus both variable costs and fixed costs such as machinery, land, overhead, and interest.
Divide net margin per acre by revenue per acre, then multiply by 100 to get the margin percentage.
