How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter biomass weight in lbs and input potency (% THC) from lab testing.
  2. Select extraction method (CO2, BHO, ethanol, rosin, ice water) and material type (flower or trim).
  3. Enter biomass cost per lb.
  4. Review Crude Extract (g), Yield (%), Concentrate Potency (%), and Cost per Gram Extract.
  5. Compare methods side by side to find the best balance of yield, potency, and cost.

How the result changes with Biomass weight (lbs)

What each input means

Biomass weight (lbs)
Weight of input material (dried flower or trim) in pounds.
Input potency (% THC)
Cannabinoid potency of input material from lab testing.
Extraction method (0-4)
0 = CO2, 1 = BHO, 2 = Ethanol, 3 = Rosin press, 4 = Ice water hash.
Material type (0-1)
0 = Flower/nug run, 1 = Trim/shake.
Biomass cost ($/lb)
Purchase cost of input biomass per pound.

What each result means

Crude extract (g)
Total crude concentrate output in grams.
Crude extract (oz)
Crude concentrate in ounces.
Yield (%)
Extract weight as percentage of input biomass.
Crude potency (%)
Estimated cannabinoid concentration in crude extract.
Refined extract (g)
Estimated output after winterization/refinement.
Refined potency (%)
Estimated potency after refinement (distillate grade).
Cannabinoids recovered (g)
Total grams of cannabinoid actually recovered.
Cost per gram extract
Biomass cost per gram of crude extract (excludes processing costs).
Total biomass cost
Total cost of input material.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Biomass weight (lbs) = 10, Input potency (% THC) = 18, Extraction method (0-4) = 0, Material type (0-1) = 0 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Crude extract
    Crude extract = biomassGrams * spec.yieldPct * materialMultiplier
    635 = 635
  3. Calculate Crude extract
    Crude extract = round((crudeExtractG / 28.3495) * 10) / 10
    22.4 = 22.4
  4. Calculate Yield
    14 = 14
