Calculation in kind or calculation in-natura is a way of valuating resources and a system of accounting that uses disaggregated physical magnitudes as opposed to a common unit of calculation. In a pre-capitalist economy, calculation in kind refers to an economic system where planning, resource allocation, and valuation are based on physical quantities of goods and labor hours rather than monetary values, prices, or profit margins.
