How to Use This Calculator
Enter the number of herb patches you use, expected herbs per patch, seed cost, herb sale value, compost or other patch cost, other route cost per run, number of runs, and minutes per run. Use an average yield that reflects your Farming level, diaries, equipment, secateurs, compost, and route.
Formula & Methodology
Expected herbs per run equal patches multiplied by average herbs per patch. Total herbs multiply herbs per run by the number of runs. Seed cost equals patches times seed cost times runs. Patch cost equals patches times cost per patch times runs. Revenue equals total herbs times herb value. Profit equals revenue minus seed, patch, and route costs. GP per hour scales profit by total run time.

Herb run profit example
With 8 patches averaging 8 herbs each, one run yields an expected 64 herbs before pricing. Enter seed, compost, route, and herb values to estimate expected profit.
Actual herb yield is random and affected by Farming level, compost, diaries, magic secateurs, disease, resurrect crops, patch availability, route, teleports, and game updates. The calculator uses average yield and manual prices rather than simulating individual patches or fetching live market data.
Expected yield is not guaranteed on any individual run. Verify current seed and herb prices and use a realistic average yield for your account.
