With these values the results are: | Total raw material cost | 86,800 USD | | Total usable | 99,430 kg | | Average cost per kg | 0.87 USD | ### How to use: Raw Material 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 raw material cost, Total usable, Average cost per kg. - Check every step of the calculation in the formulas below. ## How is it calculated? - **Cost** (each row) = [Quantity (kg)] × ([Price per kg] + [Freight per kg]) - **net** (each row) = [Quantity (kg)] × (1 − [Loss %] ÷ 100) - **Ukg** (each row) = [Quantity (kg)] × ([Price per kg] + [Freight per kg]) ÷ ([Quantity (kg)] × (1 − [Loss %] ÷ 100)) - **Total raw material cost** = [Σ Cost] - **Total usable** = [SUM_NET] - **Average cost per kg** = [Σ Cost] ÷ [SUM_NET] ## 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. - [Recipe Cost Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/recipe-cost-calculator) - [Formula Cost Calculator](https://demo.fcrsoft.com/en/production/formula-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.
