How To Calculate Yield Percent?

Yield percent = (Actual yield ÷ Theoretical yield) × 100

Actual yield = the amount of product actually obtained

Theoretical yield = the maximum amount of product expected from the balanced equation

Use the same units for actual yield and theoretical yield

Divide actual yield by theoretical yield

Multiply the result by 100 to convert to a percentage

Yield percent = 0.75 × 100 = 75% if actual yield is 75 and theoretical yield is 100
