About this tool
Compare what you actually net at the mandi after fees, commission and transport against the announced MSP.
MSP realisation is the price a farmer actually keeps per quintal after a mandi sale, expressed against the notified Minimum Support Price. This calculator subtracts the market fee or cess, the arhtiya commission, hamali and weighing charges, bardana and transport from the price quoted in the yard, then shows the net per quintal, the rupee gap against MSP for the whole lot, and the mandi price you would need for your net to equal MSP. It also applies the Price Deficiency Payment Scheme rule under PM-AASHA, where the payment is capped at 25% of MSP.

Ad valorem charges scale with the price, so the premium over MSP shrinks exactly when the price rises.
The break-even mandi price tells you the figure to hold out for so your net matches MSP.
Per-quintal charges and one-time transport are combined over the quantity actually sold.
No. MSP is a gross price at the procurement centre, and a mandi sale carries deductions — state market fee or cess, the commission agent's charge, hamali and weighing, gunny bags, and your own transport. Typical fee plus commission runs a few per cent of sale value, so the net you take home is usually below the quoted price.
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs notifies MSP on the recommendation of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices, separately for each Kharif and Rabi season and for each crop and grade. Because it is revised every season, this tool takes MSP as an input rather than storing a rate that would go stale.
PDPS, a component of PM-AASHA, pays a registered farmer the difference between MSP and the market price, with the payment limited to 25% of MSP. If MSP is ₹2,300 and the market price is ₹1,000, the ₹1,300 gap is capped and only ₹575 a quintal is payable.
Because market fee and commission are charged on the sale value, not on the surplus. On a ₹2,350 price with 2% fee, 2.5% commission, ₹25 of labour and bardana and ₹80 a quintal of transport, deductions come to about ₹211, leaving roughly ₹2,139 — below a ₹2,300 MSP despite the higher quote.
