Animal Crossing Turnip Profit Calculator

Enter your Sunday buy price from Daisy Mae and any Nook's Cranny sell prices you have for the week. The calculator finds your best sell window and estimated profit.

Weekly Sell Prices (leave unknown slots blank)

Tip: Turnip prices reset every week. Sell before Saturday night or your turnips spoil.

How this Animal Crossing turnip calculator helps

The stalk market in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is simple in concept but surprisingly difficult in practice. You buy turnips from Daisy Mae on Sunday morning, then check two sell prices each day at Nook's Cranny. The challenge is deciding when to sell. Wait too long and prices can crash. Sell too early and you might miss a huge spike.

This calculator gives you a clear snapshot of your week. Instead of mentally comparing 10 to 12 different prices, you can instantly see your best available window, your break-even point, and your potential bells earned or lost.

Quick reminder: Turnips spoil if you keep them past Saturday night or if you time travel backward. Always prioritize selling before the week ends.

What to enter in the calculator

1) Buy price

Enter the amount you paid Daisy Mae per turnip (usually between 90 and 110 bells).

2) Turnip count

Input how many turnips you bought. This determines total profit or loss projections.

3) Weekday prices

Add any AM/PM prices you already know. You do not need every slot filled in. Partial data still works, and you can update as new prices appear.

4) Optional goal

If you want to hit a target, such as 1,000,000 bells, enter your desired profit. The calculator tells you what sell price you need to reach that goal.

Common turnip price patterns

Animal Crossing generally rotates through several known weekly trend types. No calculator can guarantee the future, but understanding the usual patterns helps you make better decisions.

  • Decreasing: Prices trend downward all week. If you see this early, sell fast to minimize losses.
  • Small spike: Moderate rise (often around 140–200), then a drop.
  • Large spike: One strong peak that can exceed 300, 400, or even higher.
  • Fluctuating: Up-and-down movement with no single dramatic spike.

Practical strategy tips

  • Check prices both in the morning and afternoon every day.
  • If you find a price above 150 and your week has been weak, consider locking in profit.
  • Use online communities to visit islands with better prices when your own market is poor.
  • Never ignore Saturday PM; if your prices are still low, sell anyway to avoid total loss.
  • Track your buy price and historical trends to improve future decisions.

FAQ

Should I sell as soon as I see profit?

Usually, any price above your buy price is safe profit. Whether to wait depends on your risk tolerance and how close you are to Saturday.

What is a “good” sell price?

Many players target 150+ as a decent week, 200+ as strong, and 400+ as excellent. But the best price is the one you can secure before spoilage.

Does this predict exact future prices?

No. This tool is a decision helper, not a guaranteed prediction engine. It analyzes the prices you enter and summarizes your best current options.

Final thought

The stalk market rewards consistency more than luck. Track prices every session, use a calculator like this one, and make calm, data-based decisions. Over time, those small improvements can turn into massive bell gains for your island projects.
