How is profit per hour calculated?

Profit per hour equals (value per harvest × plot count) divided by grow time in hours. Value per harvest comes from crop base value, mutations, and friend boost unless you enter a sell price override.

Should I use manual multiplier or mutation picker?

Use the mutation picker when you know which mutations apply — it uses the same stacking rules as the crop value calculator. Use manual multiplier when you already computed an effective × factor from a test harvest.

Does friend boost affect profit per hour?

Yes. Friend boost is applied to each harvest value before the hourly formula runs, so boosted sessions increase both coins per hour and coins per plot per hour.

Profit per Hour Formula

Farming efficiency in Grow a Garden is not just about raw crop value — it is about how many harvests you complete per hour across your plots. This profit calculator uses the formula: (value per harvest × plot count) ÷ grow time in hours. A 500k harvest on ten plots every thirty minutes yields very different hourly income than the same crop on three plots with a two-hour timer.

Select a crop for its base Sheckle value, then stack mutations from the picker or enter a manual multiplier when you already know your effective bracket. Friend boost applies on top unless you override sell price with an observed in-game number from a recent harvest.

Pair results with the crop value calculator for weight-sensitive harvests, the weather page to time mutation windows, and the crop database to compare base values before planting your next rotation.
