Skill Calculator for Every OSRS Skill

Pick a skill, then enter your current level or xp, or look up your name to fill it in. Set a target level or xp and the table lists every training action for that skill with the actions needed, gp per xp and total cost at today's prices. If you wear a skilling outfit, set the xp bonus first, because it changes every count in the table.

Profit each is the value of what you make minus the materials, at current Grand Exchange mid prices and before the 2% GE tax. Negative numbers are a cost. Greyed rows need a higher level than you have.

How to use the skill calculator

Pick a skill. The table switches to that skill's training actions straight away.
Set where you are. Type a level or exact xp, or look up your name. Exact xp is better, because "level 70" could mean anything from 737,627 to just under 814,445 xp.
Set the goal. A target level or a target xp figure, including virtual levels and 200M.
Narrow it down. Use the category chips to show one type of action, and the members toggle to hide anything free-to-play accounts cannot do.
Add any xp bonus. A full skilling outfit such as the angler outfit gives 2.5% extra xp, which cuts the action count across the whole table.

Reading the table

Each row is one action, such as a potion, a log or a bar, with the level it needs and the xp it gives. "Actions needed" is how many you would do to hit your goal using only that action. The cost or profit columns use today's Grand Exchange prices for the inputs and outputs, so a row can show a loss on one day and a small profit the next.

The column most worth sorting by is gp per xp. It puts every method on the same scale, whatever the xp per action. A negative figure means the method costs you money for each xp; a positive one means you get paid to train. Total cost then tells you what the whole goal will take from your bank.

XP needed for common goals

From	To	XP needed
1	70	737,627
70	80	1,248,441
80	90	3,360,264
90	99	7,688,099
92	99	6,517,178

Level 92 is the halfway point to 99, and 90 to 99 takes more than everything from 1 to 90 put together. The full experience table has every level up to 126.

Picking a method

Skills split into two camps. Buyable skills such as Construction, Herblore and Smithing cost money for every xp, and the calculator shows how much: compare Herblore potions against each other, or the OSRS Construction calculator plank options. Gathering skills such as Fishing, Mining and Woodcutting usually pay you, but slowly. For those, the Fishing calculator shows which catches are worth selling.

The cheapest method per xp is rarely the fastest. A good habit is to sort by gp per xp, then look at the first few rows that you can actually do at your level and pick the one that suits your play time. If a skill costs more than you can afford, the money making methods list is the place to fund it.

The table only counts training actions. Quest rewards and xp lamps can skip the first stretch of several skills, so check those before grinding the early levels. Some skills, like Herblore (see the Herblore calculator), also have a lot of xp tied to secondary ingredients that move in price, so look at the total cost again before buying in bulk.

When a route matters more than a number

The calculator answers "how many and how much". It does not tell you which order to train in or which methods unlock along the way. For that, each skill has a written route in the OSRS training guides, with xp rates for each level band.

Questions players ask

How much xp do you need for 99 in OSRS?

13,034,431 xp. Every skill uses the same table, so 99 Cooking takes the same xp as 99 Sailing. Half of that, 6,517,253, is level 92, which is why players say 92 is half of 99.

Can the calculator show free-to-play methods only?

Yes. Switch off the members toggle and every action that needs membership disappears from the table. The xp numbers stay the same; only the list of methods changes, so the cheapest free-to-play option rises to the top when you sort by gp per xp.

Does the calculator include xp boosting outfits?

Yes. Choose your bonus in the xp bonus selector. Full skilling outfits such as the angler outfit add 2.5%, and the calculator reduces the actions needed and the total cost to match.

How do I work out how long a skill will take?

Take the xp you need from the calculator and divide it by the xp per hour of the method you plan to use. The training guide for each skill lists realistic rates by level, which are usually lower than the best rates you see quoted.

Why do some actions show a profit?

When the product sells for more than the inputs cost, you make money while training. That is common in gathering skills and some processing ones. Prices move, so an action that shows a small profit today can slip into a small loss later in the week.
