OSRS Combat Level Formula
The calculation of the Combat Level is split into two primary parts: the Defence Base and the Attack Base. The final level is the sum of these two components.
1. Defence Base: DefBase = FLOOR((Defence + Hitpoints + FLOOR(Prayer / 2)) / 4)
2. Attack Base:
MeleeBase = 0.325 * (Attack + Strength)
RangedBase = 0.325 * (FLOOR(1.5 * Ranged))
MagicBase = 0.325 * (FLOOR(1.5 * Magic))
AttackBase = MAX(MeleeBase, RangedBase, MagicBase)
3. Combat Level: FLOOR(DefBase + AttackBase)
Variables
The Combat Level is derived from seven crucial combat statistics, all capped at 99 (or 126 for the final combat level).
- Attack (Att): Determines accuracy and maximum hit with melee weapons.
- Strength (Str): Determines maximum hit with melee weapons.
- Defence (Def): Determines block chance and reduces damage taken.
- Hitpoints (HP): Your total life pool (starts at 10, max 99).
- Ranged (Rng): Determines accuracy and maximum hit with ranged weapons.
- Magic (Mag): Determines accuracy and maximum hit with magic spells.
- Prayer (Pr): Determines the effectiveness and maximum level of the Defence Base.

What is OSRS Combat Level?
The Combat Level is a numerical representation of a player’s power in combat, ranging from 3 (for a fresh account) up to a maximum of 126. This level is crucial for determining which monsters you can fight effectively, which PvP bracket you fall into (in the Wilderness), and how other players perceive your account strength. Since the 2007 version of the game, the formula has remained consistent, favoring whichever offensive style (Melee, Ranged, or Magic) you have trained the highest.
Understanding the combat level calculation is essential for creating “Pures” or specialized accounts (like 1 defence pures or specific PVP builds). The calculator is designed to help players strategically plan their skill training to achieve a desired combat level without exceeding specific caps, giving them an advantage in certain combat scenarios.
How to Calculate OSRS Combat Level (Example)
Let’s use an example with a common PvP build (60 Attack, 90 Strength, 70 Defence, 99 HP, 1 Ranged, 1 Magic, 52 Prayer).
- Input Stats: Att 60, Str 90, Def 70, HP 99, Rng 1, Mag 1, Pr 52.
- Calculate Prayer Component: $\lfloor 52 / 2 \rfloor = 26$.
- Calculate Defence Base: $\lfloor (70 + 99 + 26) / 4 \rfloor = \lfloor 195 / 4 \rfloor = \lfloor 48.75 \rfloor = 48$.
- Calculate Melee Base: $0.325 \times (60 + 90) = 0.325 \times 150 = 48.75$.
- Calculate Ranged Base: $0.325 \times (\lfloor 1.5 \times 1 \rfloor) = 0.325 \times 1 = 0.325$.
- Calculate Magic Base: $0.325 \times (\lfloor 1.5 \times 1 \rfloor) = 0.325 \times 1 = 0.325$.
- Determine Attack Base: $\text{Max}(48.75, 0.325, 0.325) = 48.75$.
- Calculate Final Combat Level: $\lfloor 48 \text{ (Def Base)} + 48.75 \text{ (Attack Base)} \rfloor = \lfloor 96.75 \rfloor = 96$.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The maximum Combat Level is 126. To achieve this, a player needs all combat skills (Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, Ranged, and Magic) to be 99, and a high Prayer level.
Does Prayer level affect Combat Level significantly?Yes, but less than other stats. Only half of your Prayer level is added to the Defence Base calculation. It takes 8 Prayer levels to increase your Combat Level by 1 (assuming other stats are low/equal).
Why are Ranged and Magic multiplied by 1.5?The Ranged and Magic formulas use a multiplier of 1.5 to normalize their contribution relative to Melee, which uses the sum of Attack and Strength. This ensures a balanced combat level regardless of your primary combat style.
Can I be level 126 without 99 in all combat stats?Yes, it is theoretically possible, but only by having 99 in Defence, Hitpoints, and Prayer, and 99 in two of the three main offensive stats (like Attack and Strength, or 99 Magic and 99 Defence/HP/Prayer). The total sum of the components must be 126 to achieve the maximum level.
