OPI Grain Management ROI Calculator
Estimate how grain monitoring and automated fan control may help protect grain value, reduce over-drying, lower fan energy costs, and save labor.
1. Bin & Grain
Used only if known bushels is left at 0.
Enter 0 to estimate from bin dimensions.
2. Fan & Electric Cost
3. Avoided Losses & Labor
Example: avoid drying 15.5% corn down to 14.5%.
4. Soybean Rehydration Opportunity
Uses the spreadsheet formula: ((target moisture - overdried moisture) × 1.149) × soybean bushels × soybean price.
Estimated simple payback

Annual ROI: --
Estimated bushels--
Electrical load--
Current fan energy cost--
Soybean rehydration opportunity--
Gross annual benefit--
Net annual benefit--
5-year net value before financing--
Benefit Breakdown
Tip: for a conservative sales conversation, set spoilage/condition loss reduction to 0 and show payback from over-drying, energy, and labor only. Then discuss grain quality protection as added upside.
Planning estimate only. Actual ROI varies by grain condition, weather, bin fill, fan design, static pressure, utility rate/demand charges, management strategy, installed cost, and market price. Verify assumptions before quoting.
