Seasonal crop profit explained
A useful crop ranking must subtract every replanting seed, respect the day each harvest arrives, and stop promising artisan revenue when the selected machines cannot finish it. This calculator combines those parts in one seasonal result.
The calendar excludes any supported crop that cannot finish before Day 28, applies Speed-Gro stage by stage, and keeps regrowth separate from the first growth cycle. Non-regrowing crops are replanted only when another harvest still fits.
A Parsnip or Starfruit plot needs another seed after every harvest, while a Strawberry or Cranberry plant keeps producing from its first seed. The result subtracts those different planting costs before ranking net profit per tile and day.
Each machine type is evaluated separately. Harvests enter its queue on their real collection dates; machines reload only after a batch finishes. Anything that misses the selected deadline on that route is valued as a normal-quality raw crop.
The ranking picks raw sale or the best single processing route for each crop. It does not combine Kegs, Jars, and Dehydrators. To share a harvest across machine types, use the full planner; its sale total does not subtract seed or fertilizer costs. Your settings stay in this browser without an account.

How this calculator works
Quantity, quality, profession, route rules, and the raw-sale alternative are applied to the same stack.
A result counts only complete batches that fit the selected machine capacity and deadline.
Unsupported machines, inputs, or scheduling assumptions stay in the scope note instead of being guessed.

It depends on the planting day, seed access, profession, fertilizer, and machine capacity. ValleyMath ranks supported crops by net gold per tile per remaining season day, using raw sale or the best single processing route. Combining machine types can change both the profit and the crop ranking.
Yes. Non-regrowing crops pay for a new seed each time another planting fits, while regrowing crops pay once per tile. An optional fertilizer cost is also subtracted once per tile.
Speed-Gro is applied to the crop growth stages using the game-style reduction. It does not shorten a regrowing crop’s interval after the first harvest, and Agriculturist is kept separate from the mutually exclusive Artisan profession.
No. Harvests arrive on their calculated dates and each machine must finish before it can reload. Kegs, Preserves Jars, and Dehydrators are compared separately, not combined. Crops that cannot finish the selected route by your deadline retain their raw sale value.
The current ranking covers common directly purchasable field crops with audited seed prices, growth stages, yields, and supported artisan routes. Found seeds, rare seeds, flowers, and nearby-water crops are excluded rather than estimated.
