Your numbers
Enter your flock, production, and egg price, then Calculate. Open Advanced for feed, costs, extra income (spent birds, manure, empty bags), and other defaults.
Results
Figures are estimates only — use them for planning, not as financial advice.
What each field means
How many birds you place
Enter the number of birds at the start of the laying batch. The calculator uses this head count for chick cost, medicine per bird, and scaling the flock over time.
Average mortality
Your expected loss over the cycle, as a percentage of birds placed. We estimate an average flock size between start and end, then use it for eggs, in-lay feed, and in-lay limestone (limestone is not counted in the rearing weeks).
Average hen-day production
Eggs per bird per day as a percentage of one egg. For example, 85 means about 0.85 eggs per average bird per day across the laying period.
Laying period in weeks
How long you expect birds to stay in lay for this plan (default 72 weeks).
Average egg price
What you expect to realise per egg in rupees (not per tray). Egg income is total eggs × this price; the main Revenue card also adds other income from Advanced if you use it. This input moves profit fast when the market moves.
Advanced: rearing, lay, expenses, other income
Expand each section under Advanced: rearing weeks and feed; in-lay feed and limestone; chicks, feed and limestone ₹/kg, labour and electricity (applied over rearing + laying calendar), vaccine, misc and tray costs; and other income — spent birds (survivors at end of lay), manure ₹/kg, and empty feed bag ₹/bag. Chicks and misc are per bird placed.
Plan one layer cycle in rupees
This calculator estimates total revenue (eggs plus optional income from spent birds, manure, and bags), total expenses, and net profit or loss for one batch. Rearing feed uses your rearing weeks; lay feed, eggs, and limestone use the laying period only; chicks, trays, misc, medicine, and monthly labour and electricity follow your calendar; tune everything under Advanced. Outputs are for planning and comparison only — not tax, loan, or legal advice.
The Eggnix app carries the same idea further: log daily eggs and feed and see P&L by batch over time. Use this page for quick what-if checks; use the app when you want ongoing control on the farm.
Automate this in Eggnix
Log eggs and feed once a day — get profit trends without spreadsheets.
