How to calculate protein yield percentage

This calculator finds protein yield percentage by comparing recovered protein to starting protein amount — a standard purification efficiency metric.

How the calculation works

Yield percentage = (Recovered protein ÷ Starting protein) × 100.

Example

180 mg recovered from a starting 250 mg: (180÷250)×100 = 72%.

Frequently asked questions

How is Result calculated?

Result = ([Recovered protein] ÷ [Starting protein]) × 100.

Pro Tips for Protein Yield Percentage

  1. Track yield at each purification step to identify which step is causing the most protein loss.
  2. Some yield loss is expected and normal at each purification step — compare against typical benchmarks for your specific purification method.

Common Protein Yield Percentage Mistakes to Avoid

  • Expecting near-100% yield through a multi-step purification process, when some loss at each step is normal and expected.
