Calculate Crop Gross Margins Per Hectare, Per Paddock
Knowing your gross margin per hectare is the foundation of every cropping decision. Which paddocks are earning their place? Which crops should you grow more of, and which should you drop? P2PAgri calculates it all, so you're making decisions based on real numbers, not gut feel.
How Do I Calculate Crop Gross Margins Per Hectare?
Knowing your gross margin per hectare for each crop is fundamental to making good rotation and cropping decisions. P2PAgri calculates gross margins automatically from your yield, price, and variable cost data, giving you a clear picture of which crops and paddocks are most profitable.
Gross Margin Per Hectare, Per Crop
For every crop enterprise, P2PAgri calculates your gross margin per hectare by combining production, price received (including quality-based pricing), variable costs, sales commissions, and end point royalties. The result is a clear, honest gross margin for every crop on every paddock.
100+ Crop Varieties
P2PAgri supports over 100 crop varieties out of the box: wheat, barley, oats, canola, durum, triticale, sorghum, cotton (with separate lint and seed tracking), pulses (chickpeas, lentils, lupins, faba beans, field peas), oilseeds, hay and silage, horticulture, vines, and specialty crops.
Multi-Product Crops
Some crops produce more than one saleable product. P2PAgri handles these with a built-in crop product calculator that lets you track production, pricing, and marketing separately for each product, while still showing one combined gross margin per hectare.
Quality-Based Pricing & Retained Crop
Not all grain earns the same price. P2PAgri lets you record different prices for different quality grades. Kept grain on-farm for stock feed, seed, or future sale? P2PAgri tracks retained crop separately from sold crop so your gross margin reflects the true production value.
Tonnage Calculator & Water Use Efficiency
Estimate production before harvest using the built-in tonnage calculator. For dryland cropping, the Water Use Efficiency (WUE) calculator shows the percentage of the crops potential that is being achieved given the millimetre of growing season rainfall, a key benchmark for improving agronomic efficiency.
Variable Cost Tracking ($/ha)
Enter every variable cost against each crop enterprise. P2PAgri tracks costs per hectare across categories including seed, fertiliser, chemicals, fuel, contract services, crop insurance, and levies. See how your variable costs stack up year-on-year.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. P2PAgri shows gross margin per hectare for every enterprise, so you can directly compare wheat, barley, canola, chickpeas, and any other crop on the same basis. You can even compare crops against livestock enterprises.
Cotton is treated as a multi-product crop. You can track production, pricing, cash flow, and marketing separately for lint and seed, while P2PAgri calculates a combined gross margin per hectare for the cotton enterprise.
Yes. Because P2PAgri tracks crops by paddock, you can see gross margin results for individual paddocks, helping you identify your best and worst performing country.
Yes. P2PAgri calculates your cost of production per tonne for each crop, including variable costs and allocated fixed costs. This is a powerful benchmark for forward selling decisions and risk management.
A crop gross margin is your income from a crop minus the variable costs of producing it (seed, fertiliser, chemicals, fuel, etc.). It's expressed per hectare and tells you how much each crop contributes toward covering your fixed costs and generating profit. Comparing gross margins across crops and seasons helps you make better rotation decisions.
