Juice Yield From Fruit Calculator

Work out juice yield from fruit instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Juice Yield From Fruit Calculator

Juice volume is fruit weight times the typical juice yield for that fruit, treating juice as roughly one millilitre per gram, with the remainder as pulp, pith and skin. Yields vary by more than double between lemons and grapes, so planning a batch from fruit weight is the only way to avoid buying half the fruit you need.

Formulas

Juice yield

juice ml = fruit kg x 1000 x yield fraction

Fruit per litre

kg per litre = 1 / yield fraction

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 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.
