Estimate harvest weight and marketable crop yield.
About Crop Yield Estimate
Total harvest is the plant count times fruits per plant times average fruit weight, then a marketable share trims it for culls and damage. Estimating both gross and marketable yield helps a grower price, plan storage and decide whether a crop is worth its space.
Formula
Crop Yield Estimate
Yield = plants x fruit per plant x weight; marketable = gross x marketable%
- marketable share
- Portion of fruit that is saleable or usable

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 4 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 3 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.
