Private, in-browser worksheet

Mineral rights offer comparison tool

Put two written offers on the same screen. This worksheet calculates price per stated net mineral acre when both inputs are available and flags unanswered terms. Your entries stay in this page until you clear it or leave. MRX does not upload or save the worksheet values. General tool-use events contain no worksheet entries.

Side-by-side terms

Compare what each offer actually covers

Leave unknown amounts blank. Write “unknown” where a term is unclear. Do not enter names, account numbers, signatures, or document text that identifies an owner.

Term Offer A Offer B Why it matters
Kind of interest Use only the basis identified in the offer. A royalty decimal or net royalty acre is not a net mineral acre.
The stated amount may still be subject to adjustments or conditions.
Confirm the acreage basis and do not substitute net royalty acres.
Amount per stated net mineral acre Not enough information Not enough information A calculation can normalize stated inputs; it cannot prove acreage or value.
Acres, county, legal description, formations, depths, and retained rights define the asset.
Identify who can change the amount, the calculation, and your right to reject a revision.
Long or extendable periods can change timing and negotiating flexibility.
Compare when documents transfer, when payment is final, and which conditions remain.
Royalty or other payments may be allocated around an effective date.
Terms beyond price may continue before or after closing.

Offer A: questions to resolve

Choose the interest type and add the facts you know.

    Offer B: questions to resolve

    Choose the interest type and add the facts you know.

      These prompts flag missing or unclear entries. Filling every field does not verify the offer or establish that it is fair.

      Hypothetical example · not an actual offer

      A larger headline can describe more property

      Suppose Offer A states $40,000 for 10 net mineral acres and Offer B states $60,000 for 20 net mineral acres. The arithmetic is $4,000 and $3,000 per stated NMA. These invented numbers illustrate division only; they are not market prices or valuation guidance.

      The offers cover different quantities. Before treating them as comparable, identify the exact property, depths, retained rights, adjustments, and payment conditions. This worksheet cannot determine which offer is better.

      How this worksheet works

      For a mineral-interest selection, the calculation divides a positive stated total by positive stated net mineral acres. Other interest types and unknown or invalid inputs receive no per-net-mineral-acre calculation. Questions reflect the fields supplied, not an examination of your documents. Unknown terms remain questions.

      The result is arithmetic derived only from your entered offer terms. It is not an appraisal, valuation, market-price estimate, recommendation, assessment of offer quality, or evidence of what another buyer would pay. This worksheet does not guarantee an offer, transaction, price, qualification, or outcome.
