Estimate revenue and operating profit for one licensed cannabis cultivation cycle. Enter the dry flower yield you expect to sell, the value you expect to receive per ounce, and your actual cycle expenses. Results recalculate as you edit.
Scenario planning only. Not a yield guarantee, appraisal, tax forecast, licensing determination, or investment recommendation.
Build a cultivation scenario
All values describe a single harvest cycle. Enter your own estimates; the starting numbers are examples.
How the numbers work
Every result follows from the quantities and costs above. No assumed yield, market price or profit percentage is inserted behind the scenes.
Count product likely to be sold—not wet harvest weight.
Use the amount your business expects to receive for sales.
Enter labor, electricity, supplies, compliance and other costs without overlap.
Price threshold: cost ÷ ounces. Output threshold: cost ÷ $/oz.
What can change the result?
Lower saleable yield, crop losses, changing wholesale prices, labor overruns, energy demand, testing charges and licensing requirements can all alter a cycle's economics. A cost or revenue estimate is not a business forecast until those assumptions are checked.
These are basic enterprise-budget calculations used in agricultural financial planning. For the fixed-versus-variable distinction and break-even methods, see University of Maryland Extension and University of Missouri Extension.
