Formula Used

The calculator uses this simple formula to determine your net profit:

Net Profit = (Selling Price × Quantity) - (Cost × Quantity) - Additional Expenses

Where:

Selling Price = Price per ounce you plan to sell at
Quantity = Number of ounces you plan to sell
Cost = Your estimated cost per ounce
Additional Expenses = Any other costs not included in the per-ounce cost

This formula gives you a straightforward way to estimate your potential earnings from cannabis sales.

Worked Example

Let's say you want to sell 100 ounces of cannabis:

Selling price: $200 per ounce
Cost: $100 per ounce
Additional expenses: $500 for marketing

Using the formula:

Net Profit = ($200 × 100) - ($100 × 100) - $500 = $20,000 - $10,000 - $500 = $9,500

This means you would make a net profit of $9,500 from selling 100 ounces of cannabis under these conditions.
