Yield Calculator

Calculate yield (e.g. fillet yield) from input and output, the input needed for a target output and the output’s unit cost. The calculation uses Production and Cold Chain Engine: Calculates recipe, raw material, yield, waste, dry matter and cold storage costs with the same unit and cost rules.

Yield is the share of saleable output obtained from the input, for example fillet yield from whole fish. Raw material cost is spread over real product kilograms using this ratio.

Track yield for every batch; a drop of a few points at the same raw material price raises product cost significantly and upsets pricing.

Yield = [Output quantity] ÷ [Input quantity] × 100. With the example values (Input quantity 1,000 kg, Output quantity 420 kg, Target output 5,000 kg, Input price per kg 5.2 USD) the result is 42.0 %.

Input needed for the target = [Target output] ÷ ([Output quantity] ÷ [Input quantity]). With the example values (Input quantity 1,000 kg, Output quantity 420 kg, Target output 5,000 kg, Input price per kg 5.2 USD) the result is 11,905 kg.

Example values: Input quantity 1,000 kg, Output quantity 420 kg, Target output 5,000 kg, Input price per kg 5.2 USD. Yield: 42.0 %; Input needed for the target: 11,905 kg; Raw material cost per kg of output: 12.38 USD.
