Yield & reconciliation

Track expected vs actual yields with clear loss accounting.

Summary

This calculator aligns with GMP expectations for yield tracking and material reconciliation described in ICH Q7 (Production and In-Process Controls) and EU GMP Part I Chapter 5.

Yield calculations compare actual output to theoretical or expected output. Reconciliation quantifies how much of the input material is accounted for through finished product and documented losses.

Use consistent units across inputs and document any reasons for yield loss or reconciliation differences to support investigations and batch record review.

Step-by-step: Calculate yield and reconciliation

  1. Confirm the theoretical or expected yield

    Record the expected output for the batch based on the master formula and input quantities.

  2. Capture actual output and known losses

    Document actual output and any accounted losses (sampling, rejects, transfers, or other planned losses).

  3. Calculate yield and reconciliation

    Compare actual yield vs theoretical yield, and reconcile inputs against outputs and documented losses.

Yield inputs

Yield results

Yield % =Actual yieldTheoretical yield* 100

Provide theoretical and actual yield to calculate yield results.

Reconciliation inputs

Document all known losses to minimize unexplained variance.

Reconciliation results

Reconciliation % =Output + accounted lossesInput quantity* 100

Provide input, output, and loss values to calculate reconciliation.
