With these values the results are: | Total inclusion | 100.00 % | | Cost per ton | 972 USD | | Mix protein | 34.65 % | | Mix fat | 15.47 % | | Cost per protein point | 28.05 USD | ### How to use: Formula Cost Calculator - Enter your own values: table rows. - Add or delete table rows as needed; totals update automatically. - Choose the currency; money inputs are converted at an approximate rate. - Results are calculated as you type: Total inclusion, Cost per ton, Mix protein, Mix fat. - Check every step of the calculation in the formulas below. ## How is it calculated? - **Ct** (each row) = [Inclusion %] ÷ 100 × [Price per ton] - **Mix protein** (each row) = [Inclusion %] ÷ 100 × [Protein %] - **cf** (each row) = [Inclusion %] ÷ 100 × [Fat %] - **Total inclusion** = [Σ Inclusion %] - **Cost per ton** = [Σ Ct] - **Mix protein** = [Σ Mix protein] - **Mix fat** = [SUM_CF] - **Cost per protein point** = [Σ Ct] ÷ [Σ Mix protein] ## Other tools running on Production and Cold Chain Engine Calculates recipe, raw material, yield, waste, dry matter and cold storage costs with the same unit and cost rules. - [Raw Material Cost Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/raw-material-cost-calculator) - [Recipe Cost Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/recipe-cost-calculator) - [Production Cost Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/production-cost-calculator) - [Cost per Ton](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/cost-per-ton) - [Cost per Kg](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/cost-per-kg) - [Raw Material Price Comparison](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/raw-material-price-comparison) - [Protein Cost Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/protein-cost-calculator) - [Dry Matter Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/dry-matter-calculator) - [Moisture Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/moisture-calculator) - [Yield Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/yield-calculator) - [Production Waste Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/production-waste-calculator) - [Cold Storage Capacity](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/cold-storage-capacity) FCRSOFT ## FCRSOFT does this for you automatically You don’t need to do the calculations and checks on this page by hand every day.
