Land Pooling Share Calculator

Work out land pooling share instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Land Pooling Share Calculator

In land pooling, owners contribute holdings to a scheme, infrastructure is laid out across the whole area, and each owner receives a pro rata share of the serviced developable land. The share returned, typically fifty to sixty percent, reflects the land absorbed by roads, open space and amenities, and the compensation is that the returned land is serviced and worth considerably more per square metre.

Formula

Allotment

Allotted area = total pooled area x developable share x (contributed area / total pooled area)

Worked example

With the default values below, Land Pooling Share Calculator returns Developable land allotted of 2,400.0. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 3 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 4 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Land Pooling Share figure worked out?

Allotted area = total pooled area x developable share x (contributed area / total pooled area). In land pooling, owners contribute holdings to a scheme, infrastructure is laid out across the whole area, and each owner receives a pro rata share of the serviced developable land.

Is a sixty percent return a good deal?

It depends entirely on the uplift. Serviced, zoned land with road access is often worth two to four times raw agricultural land, so a sixty percent return can still double the owner's value.

What values do I need to enter?

This calculator takes 3 inputs: Land contributed, Total pooled land, Share returned as developable land. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic worked example — replace them with your own site or project figures.
