ROI Calculator

Intro

Our calculator will help you see the economics behind using precision agriculture equipment. Below the calculator has some default values for machinery, equipment and crops. You are free to change these values to reflect your agricultural needs. You can export these values as a CSV file to pass on to your dealer or sales rep.

To Use

Select each machine icon to input values for the technology you are using and your crop types. The payback results will update based on the input from all four machine types. There is hover-over help available on most items. (Just hover your mouse over a field.)

Machinery

The RED icon reflects the piece of machinery you are configuring. Click on the icons to change the type. The default is the tractor. Here is the order of the machinery: TRACTOR, COMBINE, SPRAYER, IMPLEMENT.

Input Savings

This represents the cost reduction for seeds, fertilizers, herbicides, etc.

Yield Increase

This represents the crop yield increase.

Total increase in production

This is the overall performance increase in savings and increased yield.

Pie Chart Graphic

This represents the total increase in production and input savings for all equipment types configured.

Save CSV
