Simulation tool — does not replace a professional
This calculator provides an estimate based on provincial averages and the values you enter. It is not a substitute for the advice of an agronomist, farm management advisor, accountant or insurance broker. For important decisions (crop selection, financing, futures, insurance coverage), consult a qualified professional who knows your operation and your region.
How the calculator works
The simulator estimates your profitability per crop based on three blocks: (1) expected production (yield × area), (2) variable costs per hectare (seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, works), (3) fixed costs (land, insurance, admin fees). Select your crop to pre-populate the 2026 Quebec average values — then adjust each row to your operation.
Gross vs. Net Margin
Gross margin covers your variable costs. The net margin covers everything (land, admin, insurance) — it’s what determines your real profit at the end of the season.
Cost price per tonne
How much does each ton produced cost you. If the market price falls below this threshold, you lose money — an essential benchmark for your futures.
Performance threshold
The minimum yield (t/ha) required at the current price to reach breakeven. Below this threshold, your harvest does not cover your costs — crop insurance becomes critical.

💡 Broker’s advice
Hail, early frost or drought can wipe out a crop in 24 hours. If your net margin is less than 15% of gross income, crop insurance isn’t a luxury — it’s what saves your season.
Combined with building, machinery, liability and loss of income insurance, you protect your entire operation.
Factors that influence your profitability
🌦️ Weather and climate
Drought, flooding, late spring frost, early fall frost — actual yield can drop by 20-50% compared to forecast.
📈 Input prices
Fertilizers and fuels are volatile — can add $200-400/ha depending on the year. Check your supplier contracts.
💱 Market price
International prices fluctuate. Futures and ASRA help secure a floor income.
🚜 Cost of machinery
Depreciation, maintenance and fuel are a big factor. For small areas, a package rental may be more economical.
