How to use the Tractor Fuel Cost Calculator

Custom-hire tractor rates are negotiated per acre, but the owner real cost is fuel per hour divided by work rate — and without that number you cannot tell a profitable rate from a loss. This tractor fuel cost calculator takes the current diesel price, your tractor hourly consumption and the acres covered per hour to give fuel cost per hour and per acre. Ploughing burns 5–7 litres an hour while light trailer work sips 3–4; enter your real figures and price every job with confidence.

  1. Enter the current diesel price per litre.

Formula

Cost per hour (Rs) = diesel price × litres per hour. Cost per acre (Rs) = cost per hour ÷ acres per hour.

Worked example

Diesel at Rs 260, tractor burning 6 L/hour ploughing 1 acre per hour: Rs 1,560 per hour = Rs 1,560 per acre in fuel. A Rs 2,500 per acre hire rate leaves Rs 940 for driver, wear and profit. Track one full tank against hours worked to verify your real consumption figure.
