This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
Cut volume (ml) = Total distillate × Cut fraction (%)The calculation requires: Expected Total Distillate, Heads Cut, Hearts Cut. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.

Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.
When a formula combines multiple measurements, all inputs must use compatible units. Convert everything to the same system (metric or imperial) before calculating.
Plan heads, hearts, and tails cut points by volume percentage. Free spirit run cut points tool for spirit, run, and more. It applies the calculation formula (Cut volume (ml) = Total distillate × Cut fraction (%)). For example: 5 l spirit run, 7% heads, 72% hearts — A typical use case demonstrating the calculator with representative values.
