What is a Turnip Profit Calculator?
The Turnip Profit Calculator is a simple yet essential tool for players engaging in the “Stalk Market” in Animal Crossing. Since the market is volatile, this calculator provides immediate feedback on potential returns. By inputting your initial investment (buying price and quantity) and the current selling offer, you can instantly see your realized or projected profit/loss in Bells.
While the broader turnip market involves complex price pattern prediction algorithms (like Random, Decreasing, or Spike patterns), this fundamental calculator focuses purely on the financial transaction. It helps players quickly assess if a current price (or a predicted price) is worth selling at, ensuring you don’t miss a good opportunity before the turnips spoil on the following Sunday.
How to Calculate Turnip Profit (Example)
- Determine Total Cost: You bought 4,000 turnips at 105 Bells each. Cost = 4,000 * 105 = 420,000 Bells.
- Determine Total Revenue: The current selling price is 500 Bells. Revenue = 4,000 * 500 = 2,000,000 Bells.
- Calculate Net Profit: Subtract the total cost from the total revenue. Profit = 2,000,000 – 420,000 = 1,580,000 Bells.
- Calculate ROI: Divide the net profit by the total cost and multiply by 100. ROI = (1,580,000 / 420,000) * 100 $\approx$ 376.19%.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Is the Turnip Market truly random? No, the price changes follow one of four defined patterns (random, decreasing, small spike, large spike) which are determined at the beginning of the week.
- What is considered a good selling price? A price above 100 Bells guarantees a profit. Prices over 300 Bells are generally considered excellent, while prices over 500 Bells are rare and highly sought after.
- What happens if I don’t sell my turnips by Sunday? All remaining turnips will spoil and become worthless, resulting in a 100% loss of the total cost.
- How many times does the price change per day? The price changes twice daily: once at 8 AM and again at 12 PM (noon).
