Extraction Yield
Find the yield percentage of liquid or solids extracted from a food.
About Extraction Yield
Yield divides the weight of usable extraction by the original raw weight, giving the efficiency of the process. Comparing yields tells you how much usable product a given purchase produces, which changes cost and portion planning.
Formula
Extraction Yield
Yield = extracted / raw x 100
- extracted
- Weight of useful product obtained from the raw input
Worked example
With the default values below, Extraction Yield returns Yield of 50.00%. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Extraction Yield calculated?
Yield = extracted / raw x 100 Yield divides the weight of usable extraction by the original raw weight, giving the efficiency of the process.
Why does Extraction Yield matter?
Comparing yields tells you how much usable product a given purchase produces, which changes cost and portion planning.
What values do I need to enter?
This calculator takes 2 inputs: Raw weight, Extracted weight. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
