Stardew Valley crop profit calculator

Quick answer

Rank every Stardew Valley crop by gold per day or season total. Toggle farming professions (Tiller/Artisan), fertilizer, and greenhouse growth on extract sell prices and growth timers — the same math players search for when comparing Starfruit, Ancient Fruit, Blueberries, and Cranberries.

Use this calculator when you need a planting decision, not a wiki price list. Sort by gold/day or season revenue, then open the Farm planner for layout and Sphere Signals for Ancient Fruit / greenhouse paths.

More about this tool

What the model includes

Sell prices and growth / regrowth timers come from Stardew Valley client extracts. Profession and fertilizer multipliers are applied in-tool so year-one Pierre crops and late-game greenhouse plantings stay comparable.

Gold per day divides expected revenue by days in the planting window. Season totals multiply by harvest count for your selected start day. That is why a high base-price crop can lose to a cheaper regrowing crop after seed cost and harvests.

  • Raw harvest gold/day from extract prices.
  • Profession and fertilizer toggles for realistic farms.
  • Greenhouse mode for continuous growth planning.
  • Deep links to crop catalog, tier list, and Ancient Fruit guides.

Year-one vs endgame

Early spring through fall, accessible Pierre seeds (Cauliflower, Blueberries, Cranberries) usually beat rare desert crops until you unlock the bus and greenhouse. Endgame rankings shift toward Ancient Fruit and Starfruit once you can process wine and keep machines fed.

If artisan processing is your bottleneck, size kegs and jars on Building density and read the Ancient Fruit profit path guide before locking a greenhouse layout.

Common questions

What is the most profitable crop in Stardew Valley?
With full artisan processing, Ancient Fruit wine and Starfruit wine usually lead sustained gold per day. For year one without desert access, Cauliflower → Blueberries → Cranberries is the classic cash chain. Toggle professions on this calculator to match your farm.
Does gold per day include keg and jar processing?
This tool ranks harvest economics from extract crop data with your profession and fertilizer toggles. Artisan goods change the answer once you have machine capacity — see Building density and the Ancient Fruit / summer cash crop guides.
Should I plant Ancient Fruit or Starfruit?
Ancient Fruit wins long-term greenhouse and Ginger Island plots because it keeps producing without replanting. Starfruit often wins short desert/greenhouse bursts when you can buy seeds and process wine. Compare both here with your season window.
How do fertilizer and Tiller change rankings?
Fertilizer can add harvests by shortening growth; Tiller boosts crop sale value. Turn the toggles on before you trust a YouTube tier list that assumed different settings.
