THC potency calculator

Estimate batch THC and approximate milligrams per serving using labeled total THC or lab THCA values, processing retention and serving count.

EDIBLES LAB / POTENCY ESTIMATOR

Estimate what goes into each serving.

Start with the flower’s lab or label potency and adjust for processing losses. Use the laboratory option only when your report lists THCA and delta-9 THC separately.

Estimates only. Actual potency varies with lab values, decarboxylation, infusion losses, homogenization and serving size.

Understanding the estimate

Estimated batch THC (mg) = flower weight (g) × 10 × potential THC (%) × retained fraction. Estimated mg per serving = batch total ÷ number of servings.

If your report gives THCA and delta-9 THC separately, select the laboratory option. The estimate uses (THCA × 0.877) + delta-9 THC for theoretical total potential THC. That 0.877 is a molecular-mass adjustment, not decarboxylation or extraction efficiency. USDA explains the potential-THC calculation.

The retention field represents a single assumed percentage remaining after processing; it is not a measured conversion rate, and the default 70% is only an illustrative assumption. Material testing, heating conditions, extraction, distribution and serving size can change actual results.

Before making infused food

Homemade edibles can be unpredictable. Effects may take 30 minutes to 2 hours to appear, and uneven mixing can produce stronger-than-expected portions. Store infused food clearly labeled and locked away from children and pets. CDC edible safety information.
