How the estimate works
Daily eggs equal laying hens multiplied by the laying rate. The calculator projects this over 30 days, removes your expected loss percentage, and divides the saleable eggs by 30 to estimate trays. Revenue is saleable trays multiplied by your tray price.
Feed cost is calculated from hens × daily feed per hen × 30 days × feed price per kilogram. Labour, medicine, transport, packaging and other costs are then added. Net profit is revenue minus all entered costs.
Use real records for better decisions
- Count eggs at the same time daily and calculate your actual laying rate.
- Divide the current feed-bag price by its weight to get cost per kilogram.
- Record cracked, dirty, consumed and unpaid eggs as losses.
- Include family labour if you want to know whether the farm truly pays for the work.
- Run a second estimate with a lower egg price or laying rate to test a difficult month.
Important: This calculator is an educational planning tool, not a promise of profit. Disease, mortality, weather, feed quality and market prices can materially change results.
