How to Use This Calculator
- Enter biomass weight in lbs and input potency (% THC) from lab testing.
- Select extraction method (CO2, BHO, ethanol, rosin, ice water) and material type (flower or trim).
- Enter biomass cost per lb.
- Review Crude Extract (g), Yield (%), Concentrate Potency (%), and Cost per Gram Extract.
- Compare methods side by side to find the best balance of yield, potency, and cost.
How the result changes with Biomass weight (lbs)
| Biomass weight (lbs) | Crude extract (g) |
|---|---|
| 1,000 | 63,502.9 |
| 3,500 | 222,260.1 |
| 6,500 | 412,768.7 |
| 9,000 | 571,525.9 |
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
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersBiomass weight (lbs) = 10, Input potency (% THC) = 18, Extraction method (0-4) = 0, Material type (0-1) = 0 = 5 input(s) provided
- Calculate Crude extractCrude extract = biomassGrams * spec.yieldPct * materialMultiplier635 = 635
- Calculate Crude extractCrude extract = round((crudeExtractG / 28.3495) * 10) / 1022.4 = 22.4
- Calculate Yield14 = 14
