Work out your real cost of cultivation per acre.

cropmath is a free cost of cultivation per acre calculator. Type your per-acre input costs — seed, fertiliser, labour, diesel, rent — plus your expected yield, and it tells you what a quintal actually costs you to grow: your cost per quintal, your break-even price, and your return on cost against a sale price you set yourself. No MSP, no mandi data, no advice — every number is your own.

How the calculation works

Total cost per acre = seed + fertiliser + labour + diesel + rent + other. Then cost per quintal = total cost ÷ yield. Your break-even price is that same figure — the price you must beat. If you enter a sale price, cropmath also shows profit per acre, margin per quintal, break-even yield, and return on cost = profit ÷ money spent.

Worked example (illustrative — made-up numbers)

Costs of ₹2,200 + ₹4,800 + ₹6,500 + ₹3,000 + ₹8,000 + ₹1,500 = ₹26,000 per acre, with an expected yield of 20 quintals, gives a cost per quintal and break-even price of ₹1,300.00. At a sale price you expect of ₹2,000, that is a margin of ₹700 per quintal and a return on cost of 53.85%. These are made-up figures to show the method, not a typical yield or price.

Local units, and what cropmath will never do

acre and hectare are built in; add your own bigha, ground or kanal and set its size in acres yourself — cropmath never hardcodes a local unit. It carries no market prices, no benchmark yields, and no agronomy: it is arithmetic on the numbers you enter, kept private on your own machine.
