Establish the baseline
Record starch quantities, purchase prices, batch output and quality.
Enter your baselineUnderstand your cost saving
Less starch is a start.
Net value is the measure.
A useful comparison includes the additive cost, your actual purchase rates and acceptable production output.
The standard 500 kg planning example
25% starch reduction.
10.60% net material saving.
| Measure | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Starch saved / batch | 500 kg × 25% | 125 kg / 2.5 × 50 kg bags |
| Gross starch cost saved | 125 kg × PKR 150/kg | PKR 18,750 |
| Enzyme cost | 8 kg × PKR 1,350/kg | PKR 10,800 |
| Net saving / batch | 18,750 − 10,800 | PKR 7,950 |
| Daily saving | 7,950 × 18 batches | PKR 143,100 |
| Monthly saving | 143,100 × 30 days | PKR 4,293,000 |
| Annual projection | 4,293,000 × 12 months | PKR 51,516,000 |

Confirm the recipe.
Our standard planning basis is 25% starch reduction. The calculator allows trial scenarios up to 35%; achievable reduction and enzyme dose depend on the mill.
What the calculator reports
- Starch still used, kilograms saved and 50 kg bags
- Baseline cost versus starch + enzyme cost
- Batch, daily, monthly and annual net difference
- Break-even starch and enzyme purchase rates
- Business details and all input assumptions
