Harvest Moisture Calculator
Enter a wet-basis moisture percentage below 100%.
A QUICK WALKTHROUGH
How to use this tool
- Enter wet-basis moisture as a percentage from 0 up to, but not including, 100.
- Review the equivalent dry-basis percentage.
- Check which basis is used before comparing the figure with a specification.
Formula and scope
Dry-basis moisture (%) = wet-basis moisture (%) ÷ (100 − wet-basis moisture (%)) × 100. This converts notation only; it does not measure the grain.
Limitations
Grain trading and storage specifications generally use wet basis. This result is not a storage-safety assessment; compare only with a limit stated on the same basis and use a calibrated meter for measurement.

GOOD TO KNOW
Common questions
Why is dry-basis moisture higher?
The same water mass is divided by dry matter only, a smaller denominator than the total wet sample mass.
Does this measure grain moisture?
No. It converts a wet-basis percentage supplied by you.
