Calculating the GC

Once a batch’s birds are sold, open it and go to the GC Calculation tab. GrowTak pulls together the batch’s actual performance and costs, applies the batch’s GC scheme, and shows the payment due to the farmer.

​

What the tab shows

Batch Summary & Performance — the final figures for the flock: chicks placed, mortality and %, birds sold, total/average weight, consumed feed, FCR, CFCR, liquidation dates, mean age, and livability. Farm Cost Details — the cost build-up: chick cost, feed cost, medicine cost, admin cost, optional additional adjustments, and the resulting production cost (total and per kg). Scheme rate and actual total are shown side by side. GC Calculation — the worksheet itself:

• A parameters block comparing Std., Actual, and Diff. for production cost/kg, FCR, mortality %, and GC/bird.
• A component breakdown — each line of the payment (base rate, incentives, bonus, TDS, loading charge, and any batch-specific components), with its amount.
• Total GC Payable — the bottom line.
• Payment Deduction (Loan Repayment) — optionally deduct an amount that the farmer owes; this records a repayment against their loan.
• Remaining Loan Outstanding — what’s still owed after the deduction.

​

Live preview (Advanced schemes)

For Advanced-mode schemes, a Live Preview recalculates the worksheet as data changes, so you can see the result before committing. You can also Add Batch Component — a one-off formula component that applies to this batch only (for an ad-hoc adjustment) without changing the shared scheme.

​

Saving the GC

After saving, the batch’s GC has a paid status of Unpaid. Recording the actual payment (or marking it paid from the GC Paid report) flips it to Paid. See Payments & loans.

​

Changing a saved GC

You can delete a saved GC to recalculate — for example after correcting a transaction or day entry. Deleting it also reverses the loan repayment it created and re-opens the batch for GC editing.
