Calculate low test weight deductions, test weight discounts, adjusted crop price, gross crop value, net bushels, total deductions, and net crop payment. Use this test weight deduction calculator for corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, barley, sorghum, rice, and other grain settlement estimates.
Shortfall:
The calculator subtracts actual test weight from standard test weight, then subtracts any allowed shortfall.
Discount:
The chargeable shortfall is multiplied by either a dollar discount per bushel or a percentage of price.
Net bushels:
Moisture shrink and dockage are subtracted from gross bushels before payment calculations.
Net payment:
Net bushels are multiplied by adjusted price, then test weight deductions, damage discounts, handling fees, storage fees, checkoff, and other deductions are subtracted.
A test weight deduction calculator helps estimate how low test weight may affect grain settlement value and crop payment.
It can help compare standard test weight, actual test weight, chargeable shortfall, discount rate, net price, net bushels, total deductions, and net payment.
Your result shows estimated chargeable test weight shortfall, test weight discount per bushel, total test weight deduction, net bushels, adjusted price, gross crop value, dollar fees, total deductions, and net payment. These are estimates based on the values you enter.
A test weight deduction is a reduction in crop payment when grain test weight is below the standard or buyer requirement for that crop.
Subtract actual test weight from standard test weight. If the result is positive, that is the shortfall before any allowed tolerance.
Low test weight often reduces price through discounts. Moisture, dockage, shrink, and grading rules may also affect payable bushels depending on the buyer.
Test weight deductions vary because elevators, grain buyers, contracts, crop types, and grade schedules can use different discount tables and tolerances.
