Wheat field estimation
- ["10 ha, 5000 kg/ha, 10% loss"]
Estimated harvest: 50,000 kg. Marketable yield: 45,000 kg.
A 10% loss is typical for wheat under good conditions.

Yield Formula
estimatedHarvest = fieldArea × yieldPerArea; lossAmount = estimatedHarvest × (lossPercentage / 100); marketableYield = estimatedHarvest − lossAmount- fieldArea
- Field area
- yieldPerArea
- Yield per unit area
- lossPercentage
- Expected loss (%)
How this calculator works
- Enter your field area and select hectares or acres.
- Enter the expected yield per unit area and select the output unit (kg, ton, bushel, or lb).
- Estimate the percentage of crop loss from field conditions, harvesting, handling, and storage.
- The calculator shows total estimated harvest, the loss amount, and the marketable yield.
Worked Examples
Corn field with acre units
- ["100 acres, 180 bushel/acre, 5% loss"]
Estimated harvest: 18,000 bushel. Marketable yield: 17,100 bushel.
Corn yields are often expressed in bushels per acre in North America.
Rice paddy with high loss
- ["5 ha, 6000 kg/ha, 20% loss"]
Estimated harvest: 30,000 kg. Marketable yield: 24,000 kg.
Higher loss percentages may indicate pest damage or adverse weather.
