Why Accurate Logging Cost Estimation Is Critical
Logging typically accounts for 60–80% of delivered wood cost. Poor budgeting leads to unprofitable contracts, environmental damage, and safety risks. This calculator delivers real-world, data-driven estimates trusted by loggers, landowners, and timber buyers.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter total volume to be harvested (m³)
- Input average transport distance
- Select harvesting method and terrain
- Choose region for labor/fuel pricing
Scientific Cost Model (FAO 2025 data)
Total Cost = Volume × Base Rate × Method × Terrain × Region
Base rate: $45/m³ (2025 global average)
Applications
- Timber sale bidding & negotiation
- Harvest planning & contractor quotes
- Sustainable forestry budgeting
- Carbon + timber project economics
