To use the GAG trade calculator, enter your items on the left side and the other player's items on the right side. Select crop or pet for each item, add mutations and weight where applicable, then click Check Trade Fairness. The calculator scores the trade instantly as Win, Fair, or Lose.
  1. Enter your side β€” crop, pet, or custom Sheckle value
  2. Enter their side β€” same process
  3. Add mutations and weights for crops and pets
  4. Click Check Trade Fairness

Use the crop value calculator to check individual crop values before entering a trade, or the pet calculator to verify pet hatch weight.

Understanding WFL in Grow a Garden

WFL stands for Win, Fair, Lose β€” the three possible outcomes of any Grow a Garden trade. Win means you received more value than you gave (trade score above 110). Fair means both sides exchanged equivalent value (score 91–110). Lose means you gave more value than you received (score below 90).

Why Mutation Stacking Changes Every Trade

Mutations stack multiplicatively β€” a single Rainbow mutation (50Γ—) changes a crop's value non-linearly. When combined with other mutations, the trade balance shifts dramatically. Check mutation multipliers before evaluating any trade involving mutated crops.

Super Giant Pets in Trades

A 9.2 kg pet is categorically different from an 8.8 kg pet β€” the first is Super Giant, the second is Giant. That 0.4 kg gap changes value by 300–500%. Always use the pet calculator to verify hatch weight before entering pet trades.

Scam Prevention β€” 3 Patterns Every GAG Trader Must Spot

Most lost trades aren't lost on price β€” they're lost on three repeatable patterns. Spot any of these and the trade calculator score will catch it.

πŸ“¦

Volume Illusion

5+ low-tier items stacked to hide low total value behind sheer quantity. Always check the running total β€” not the item count.

βš–οΈ

Weight Omission

A pet listed without confirmed hatch weight is almost always below Super Giant. The 0.4 kg between 8.8 kg and 9.2 kg is worth millions.

⏰

Time Pressure

"Trade now or I leave" means a bad deal is being hidden behind urgency. Fair trades wait for the calculator. Decline pressure trades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does WFL mean in Grow a Garden?

WFL stands for Win, Fair, Lose β€” the three possible outcomes of any Grow a Garden trade. Win means you received more value than you gave (trade score above 110). Fair means both sides exchanged equivalent value (score 91–110). Lose means you gave more value than you received (score below 90). Use the trade calculator above to score any trade instantly.

How is a GAG trade score calculated?

The GAG Trade Fairness Formula is: Trade Score = (Your Offer Value Γ· Opponent Offer Value) Γ— 100. Divide the total Sheckle value of what you receive by the total Sheckle value of what you give, then multiply by 100. A score of 100 means perfectly equal exchange. 91 to 110 is the Fair range.

Does pet weight affect trade value in Grow a Garden?

Yes β€” significantly. A pet above 9 kilograms hatch weight is classified Super Giant and commands 300 to 500 percent more Sheckles than the same breed at average weight. Always verify pet hatch weight with the pet calculator before entering the weight into a trade calculation.

Do mutations affect trade value multiplicatively?

Yes. Mutations stack multiplicatively β€” not additively. A crop with Rainbow (50Γ—) plus Shocked (100Γ—) is worth 5,000Γ— the base price β€” not 150Γ—. The trade calculator applies this formula automatically when you select mutations for any crop in a trade.

How many items can I add per side in the trade calculator?

Up to 5 items per side β€” crops, pets, and custom Sheckle values in any combination. The calculator handles multi-item trades and scores the combined value of both sides.

What is a fair trade score in Grow a Garden?

A trade score of 91 to 110 is classified Fair β€” both players received equivalent value. A score above 110 is a Win for you. A score below 90 is a Lose. The 10-point buffer on each side of 100 accounts for minor value estimation variance between players.
