Climate Finance Calculator

Carbon & Income Calculator

Scenario-based planning for farmer income, carbon output, and investor impact. If you need a field-specific, no-assumption, fully AI-based estimate, request our DRAUPADI framework model.

Free estimate

Estimate your carbon — trees + soil

A real estimate from our engine: tree biomass (Chave 2014) plus soil carbon (IPCC defaults for your state and soil). Indicative only — the verified version is measured.

Base calculator with fixed assumptions

These baseline values stay fixed; scenario toggles change the planning outlook, not the page structure.

Proof levels

Understand how estimates evolve from planning to field-validated AI models.

Planning estimate

Based on fixed assumptions and selected scenario. Useful for quick sizing and communication.

Field-validated

Incorporates soil tests, crop mix, rainfall bands, and survival data from similar regions.

DRAUPADI AI model

No assumptions. Uses farm-level data (soil, climate, crop plan, tenure) to produce bankable projections.

Assumptions

These are controlled planning inputs, not a substitute for field measurement.

  • Base sequestration: 1.8 tCO₂/acre/year
  • Scenario survival rate: 88%
  • Scenario verification factor: 92%
  • Farmer share of carbon revenue: 60%
  • Tree estimate: about 100 trees per acre

Important disclaimer

Use the calculator for planning. Use the custom AI model for bankable outputs.

This page uses simplified assumptions and scenario logic. Actual results depend on soil type, crop choice, rainfall, tree survival, implementation quality, verification method, and market conditions.

Why this feels like a product

Clear scenarios, fixed assumptions, and outcome cards make it easier to trust and share.

For farmers

Compare the annual value of carbon, agroforestry, and crop uplift.

For investors

Estimate funded acreage, annual carbon value, and gross project returns.

For CSR teams

Translate sustainability budgets into measurable farm-level impact.

Practical improvement tips

Simple actions that improve soil, yield, and project performance over time.

Use compost, FYM, and mulching to improve soil organic carbon and stabilize crop performance.
Pair trees with legumes or green manure to reduce fertilizer dependence and improve resilience.
Run soil tests before input application to improve the return on every rupee spent.
For acidic soils, lime helps; for alkaline soils, organic matter is usually the first lever.
