Milk Payment Calculator (fat + SNF rate)

Check what the dairy should pay for milk from its fat and SNF. Enter litres, fat %, SNF % and the dairy’s rates.

Quick answer

50 L, 4.5% fat, 8.5% SNF: ₹3,388.7.

How it is calculated

  1. Milk weight = litres × 1.03 (milk is slightly heavier than water).
  2. Fat kg = weight × fat ÷ 100; SNF kg = weight × SNF ÷ 100.
  3. Payment = fat kg × fat rate + SNF kg × SNF rate.

Worked example

50 litres of milk at 4.5% fat and 8.5% SNF has 2.318 kg fat and 4.378 kg SNF. At ₹650/kg fat and ₹430/kg SNF the payment is ₹3,388.7, i.e. ₹67.77 a litre.

Fat kg2.318 kg
SNF kg4.378 kg
Formula
kg = Lt×1.03
amt = kg×Ft/100×Fp+kg×Sn/100×Sp
Payment = amt
Per litre = amt/Lt
Fat kg = kg×Ft/100
SNF kg = kg×Sn/100
