Dairy value addition yield and profitability calculator.
Model product yield, revenue, gross profit and margin for raw milk processed into a chosen dairy product.
Dairy value addition yield and profitability inputs
Enter product-specific yield, cost and sale price for ghee, paneer, khoya, butter, curd or cheese. This does not prescribe a universal yield; standardisation, moisture and process loss vary by product and plant.
Method: Finished output equals raw milk quantity multiplied by your selected yield percentage. Revenue is output times sale price; total cost combines raw milk and entered processing cost.
Inputs used: Currency = INR; Raw milk processed = 100 L; Chosen product yield = 10 %; Raw milk cost = 45 per L; Processing, packaging and overhead cost = 1,000 currency; Sale price of output = 650 per kg or L
Assumptions: The result uses the values, units and options shown in the input snapshot.
Scope and warnings: Enter product-specific yield, cost and sale price for ghee, paneer, khoya, butter, curd or cheese. This does not prescribe a universal yield; standardisation, moisture and process loss vary by product and plant. Rounding and excluded real-world terms can make an external result differ.
How this dairy value addition yield and profitability calculator works
Finished output equals raw milk quantity multiplied by your selected yield percentage. Revenue is output times sale price; total cost combines raw milk and entered processing cost.
A worked example
With 100 L milk, 10% product yield, 45 per L raw cost, 1,000 processing cost and 650 output price, the result shows the transparent gross margin.
