Welcome to the Northwest Grapes Cost-Of-Production Calculators,
the online resource for Washington, Oregon and Idaho wine and juice grape growers to automatically calculate the costs of producing grapes.

There are sixteen Calculators: Four Calculator types and four production years.

Each Calculator has all four production years on the form, so you can calculate all production years or calculate select production years.

Before You Begin
The Cost-Of-Production Calculators require you to enter your actual production costs into the numerical fields. If you do not know your actual costs, the calculators provide industry average figures as default costs.

For the most accurate results, it will be helpful to have your costs on-hand before you begin. View the Production Cost Figures Needed.

Please review the Calculator FAQ to answer questions about the Calculators.

Instructions
Step 1: Choose the calculator you want to use.
Step 2: Follow the instructions at the top of each page as you enter your costs. If you do not know your costs, you may use the default costs pre-entered into the fields. The first two pages - Capital, Production, Vineyard Spacing and Materials Costs are required.
Step 3: Once you have entered your information, click CALCULATE.
Step 4: The calculator will determine your production costs on a Summary Results Page that you can save to your computer or print out for your records.  From the Summary Results Page, you can edit your costs or begin a new calculator. You may also print out the Summary or save it to your computer.

Saving Your Results
The Cost-Of-Production Calculators automatically retains your cost data, for one calculator, up to one year, through a cookie placed on your computer. If you delete the Calculator cookie, your costs will be deleted and you will have to re-enter the costs. The last cost production figures that you enter will be the ones retained.

The Results Summary Page may be printed or saved to your computer.

Northwest Grapes Cost-Of-Production Calculators Funding

 

The Northwest Cost-Of-Production Calculators were made possible with funds from a grant partnership between the Washington Wine Industry Foundation and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC), through the Risk Management Agency (RMA) titled: Grower Decision-Making Tools for Grapes and Tree Fruit.

Thank you to the team of grape growers and suppliers in Washington, Oregon and Idaho who provided guidance and tested the calculators.
