Lumber Tycoon 2 wood value calculator

Wood sale value depends on its volume, species and whether it has been milled.

A long plank is not one unit just because it is one item. At the Wood Dropoff, a unit of volume is a cube one stud on each side. Multiply the three dimensions, then multiply that volume by the wood’s rate.

What the estimate includes

The formula is length × width × height × identical pieces × price per unit. For example, an Oak plank measuring 2 × 1 × 4 studs occupies 8 units and gives an estimate of $80. An unprocessed Oak log with that same measured volume gives $28.

Use the dimensions of the wood you will actually sell. Logs taper and branch, so treating an entire tree as one rectangular box overestimates its volume. A truckload does not have a fixed unit count. Unequal pieces need separate calculations; add their results afterwards.

Log and plank are different sale rates

Select unprocessed log only for a piece that has not gone through a sawmill. The comparison uses the same entered volume for each wood; it does not promise that milling a log will produce a plank of exactly those dimensions. Measure the resulting plank for the plank calculation.

The sortable wood table lists every rate. If you are choosing a run, compare access as well as price: Frost Wood needs a mountain trip, Blue Wood needs the ferry and Maze, and Spook and Sinister are rare seasonal trees.

Expenses and player trades

Enter the total bridge, ferry and dynamite costs you expect to pay for this trip. Expenses are subtracted once from the whole batch, not once per piece. The remainder excludes your time, lost tools and any other costs you did not enter.

This calculator estimates selling to the game’s Wood Dropoff. It does not price a player trade, a boxed axe or a rare collectible. A buyer may offer a different amount for the same piece; agree on both the amount of wood and the total payment before moving it.
