What is the Farm Cost per Acre Calculator?

To know if a crop is really profitable, you first need to know what it costs you. Most farmers remember the big bills but forget small costs, and those add up.

This calculator lists all common costs of one crop season: land preparation, seed, fertiliser, pesticides, irrigation, labour, harvesting, transport, rent and more. It also adds interest on the money you spend until the crop is sold. You get the cost per acre, the total for your land, and a clear breakdown.

How to use it

  2. Fill in each cost per acre for one season. Leave 0 if not used.
  3. Enter your loan interest rate and months until sale.
  4. See the cost per acre, total cost and the biggest costs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the average cost of farming per acre in India?
It changes a lot by crop and state. Wheat and paddy often cost ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 per acre per season including labour and machinery. Vegetables and fruits cost much more.
Should I count my own family labour?
Yes, if you want to know the true profit. Put a fair daily wage for family work. It shows if the crop is worth your time.
Why add interest if I use my own money?
Your money could have earned interest in a bank. Adding it gives a fair picture, like economists and banks do.
