Partial budget to assess practice change guide

Will a potential change to soil management increase profit? How do we assess whether a change we’ve already made was profitable?

One way to answer these questions is to use a ‘partial budget’, which considers:

• Additional revenue and reduced revenue
• Additional costs and reduced costs to work out the net change in profit.

A partial budget only includes items that change.

This factsheet will assist growers to assess profit from practice change on vegetable farms and a spreadsheet is available here.
