In the present study economic analysis of greenhouse cultivation of tomatoes and cucumber vegetables was investigated. Three benefit of the cost (B/C), internal rate of return (IRR) and interest’s current worth (NPV) were used to evaluate economic greenhouse cultivation of these products in Neyshabur, Iran. Results showed that Benefit-cost ratio of cucumber ( grown in one and two periods ) is 1.4 and 1.33, internal rate of return is 36% and 34% respectively.
