Maple Syrup Calculator

Choose a tap rule, enter tree size and sap sugar, then estimate how much finished syrup a sap run can make.

Volume

How this estimate works

Tap counts follow university extension tapping guides (taps by trunk diameter); the sap-to-syrup estimate uses the Jones Rule of 86.

Planning estimate only. Local extension, soil lab, veterinary, apiary, and label guidance should override a calculator.
