Fertilizer Calculator (NPK)

Convert a nitrogen recommendation in lb N per 1,000 sq ft into product weight for your fertilizer grade. Uses the first (N) number only.

Fertilizer Calculator

Formula

Product (lb) = (nitrogen needed × area ÷ 1,000) ÷ (N% ÷ 100). Example: 1 lb N per 1,000 sq ft over 1,000 sq ft with 10-10-10 (10% N) needs 10 lb of product.

Safety notes

Do not guess a nitrogen target from this page alone — use a soil test or local extension recommendation for your crop and soil. Water after applying granular fertilizer, and never apply to dry, stressed plants at full rate without checking the product label.
