How the calculation works
How is skim milk powder yield calculated?
SMP is dried skim milk, so its yield depends on the solids-not-fat (SNF) in the milk: protein plus lactose and minerals. The calculator sums SNF, divides by the powder solids content (96.5%, since SMP holds about 3.5% moisture), and multiplies by the milk mass to give kilograms of SMP.
Why is fat removed from the calculation?
Skim milk powder is made from the skim fraction after the cream (fat) is separated off. Fat does not end up in the powder, so only the solids-not-fat contribute to SMP yield. The fat is typically churned into butter or sold as cream.
What yield should I expect per 100 kg of milk?
Standard EU bulk milk yields roughly 8.5 to 9.2 kg of SMP per 100 kg of milk, depending on protein and SNF levels. Higher-protein milk gives a higher yield. The calculator shows your exact yield rate alongside the total.
Is this the same as the SMP price calculator?
No. This tool estimates the physical quantity of powder you can produce. The SMP Price Calculator derives a theoretical euro price for that powder from the raw milk value. Use them together to size a production run and value the output.
