Enter the number of seaweeds planted and the growth time to determine your seaweed farming results.

Seaweed Farming Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the yield and profit from your seaweed farming in OSRS.

Total Yield = Number of Seaweeds Planted * (Growth Time / 10)
Total Profit = (Yield per Seaweed - (Initial Planting Cost + (Maintenance Cost * Yield per Seaweed)))

Variables:

  • Total Yield is the total number of seaweeds harvested.
  • Number of Seaweeds Planted is the initial number of seaweeds planted.
  • Growth Time is the time taken for seaweeds to grow in minutes.
  • Total Profit is the net profit after deducting costs.
  • Initial Planting Cost is the cost of planting seaweeds.
  • Maintenance Cost is the cost incurred per minute during the growth period.
  • Yield per Seaweed is the yield obtained from each seaweed.

To calculate the total yield, multiply the number of seaweeds planted by the growth time divided by 10. For total profit, subtract the total costs (initial planting and maintenance) from the total yield.

What is Seaweed Farming Calculation?

Seaweed farming calculation in OSRS involves determining the total yield and profit from planting and harvesting seaweeds. This process includes understanding the number of seaweeds planted, growth time, and associated costs to ensure optimal profit. Accurate calculation helps in strategic farming and financial management within the game.

How to Calculate Seaweed Farming Results?

The following steps outline how to calculate the total yield and profit using the given formulas.

  1. First, determine the number of seaweeds planted.
  2. Next, determine the growth time in minutes.
  3. Use the formula: Total Yield = Number of Seaweeds Planted * (Growth Time / 10).
  4. For profit calculation, determine the initial planting and maintenance costs.
  5. Use the formula: Total Profit = (Yield per Seaweed – (Initial Planting Cost + (Maintenance Cost * Yield per Seaweed))).
  6. After calculating the yield and profit, validate your results with the calculator above.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Number of Seaweeds Planted = 100

Growth Time = 60 minutes

Initial Planting Cost = $50

Maintenance Cost = $2/minute

Yield per Seaweed = 1.5

FAQ

1. What is total yield?

Total yield is the total number of seaweeds harvested after the growth period.

2. How is total profit calculated?

Total profit is calculated by subtracting the total costs (initial planting and maintenance) from the total yield.

3. How often should I use the seaweed calculator?

It’s helpful to use the seaweed calculator whenever you plan a new farming cycle or want to optimize your profit margins.

4. Can this calculator be used for different types of seaweed?

Yes, you can adjust the yield per seaweed field to match the type of seaweed you are farming.

5. Is the calculator accurate?

The calculator provides an estimate based on the inputs provided. For exact figures, it’s best to verify with in-game results.
