How to Use the Profit Calculator
This calculator helps you determine whether crafting, cooking, or selling raw materials yields the highest profit in Heartopia. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Enter the Sell Price
Input the gold amount you receive when selling the final item. You can find sell prices in our Recipes Database or by checking in-game shops.
Step 2: Add Your Costs
Enter the total cost of ingredients or materials. If you're farming ingredients yourself, use 0 or the seed purchase price. For shop-bought ingredients, use the actual purchase cost.
Step 3: Include Extra Costs (Optional)
Some recipes require fuel, crafting fees, or multiple processing steps. Add these costs here for accurate profit calculation.
Step 4: Adjust Quantity
Calculate profits for bulk sales by changing the quantity. This is useful for planning daily shop restocks or batch cooking sessions.
Step 5: Apply Quality Bonus
Higher quality items sell for more gold. Enter your expected quality bonus percentage (typically 10-25% for silver/gold quality items).
Example: Mushroom Pie Profit
Sell Price: 450 Gold
Ingredient Cost: 120 Gold (flour + mushrooms from shop)
Extra Cost: 20 Gold (fuel for oven)
Result: 310 Gold profit per pie (68.9% margin)
If you grow your own mushrooms, the profit increases to 410 Gold per pie!

Maximizing Your Profits
Farm Your Own Ingredients
The biggest profit boost comes from growing ingredients yourself. Seeds are cheap, and harvested crops have near-zero cost, dramatically increasing your margins.
Focus on High-Margin Items
Not all items are equally profitable. Prioritize recipes with margins above 50%, especially those using ingredients you can farm. Check our Money Making Guide for the current meta.
Track Daily Shop Prices
Some ingredients have variable prices. Buy low during shop restocks and craft when prices dip. The profit calculator helps you decide whether current prices make crafting worthwhile.
Quality Matters
Always aim for higher quality outputs. Silver and gold quality items sell for 10-25% more, turning a good profit into a great one. Use quality fertilizers and perfect timing for harvests.
Daily Profit Strategy

- Harvest crops and gather foraged items (0 cost)
