RuneScape 3 Skill Calculator
Total Time Investment Needed:
RuneScape 3 Skill Calculation Formula:
1. Total XP Required:
$$ XP_{\text{Required}} = XP(L_{\text{Target}}) – XP(L_{\text{Current}}) $$2. Time Required (Hours):
$$ \text{Hours} = \frac{XP_{\text{Required}}}{\text{XP Rate per Hour}} $$ Where $XP(L)$ is the cumulative experience required for a specific level $L$.Variables Explained:
- Current Level: Your character’s current skill level (1-120).
- Target Level: The goal level you wish to reach (e.g., 99, 120).
- XP Rate per Hour: The estimated XP you gain in one hour of gameplay. This should account for boosts, bonuses, and activity downtime.

What is the RuneScape 3 Skill Calculator?
The RuneScape 3 Skill Calculator is an essential tool for players looking to optimize their time investment. Given the immense scale of XP required to reach high-level milestones like level 99 (13 million XP) or the max level 120 (over 104 million XP) in certain skills, knowing the exact time commitment is crucial for effective goal-setting.
This calculator functions by first determining the total amount of XP remaining between your current level and your target level, referencing the official RuneScape 3 experience curve. It then uses your input XP Rate per Hour to mathematically convert that remaining XP into a total number of hours required. This allows you to plan your long-term goals and milestones efficiently.
Whether you are planning for the Invention skill’s level 120 or simply aiming for your first 99, this tool provides a clear, quantitative measure of the work ahead, helping you stay motivated and focused.
How to Calculate RS3 Skill Time (Example):
- Determine Current XP: Input your current level (e.g., 85). The calculator converts this to its corresponding cumulative XP (e.g., 3,258,348 XP).
- Determine Target XP: Input your target level (e.g., 99). The calculator determines the XP needed (13,034,431 XP).
- Find Remaining XP: Subtract Current XP from Target XP. (13,034,431 – 3,258,348 = 9,776,083 XP remaining).
- Input XP Rate: Input your expected XP per Hour (e.g., 300,000 XP/hr).
- Calculate Time: Divide the Remaining XP by the XP Rate per Hour. (9,776,083 XP / 300,000 XP/hr $\approx$ 32.59 Hours).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What is the maximum skill level in RuneScape 3?
The maximum level for most skills is 99, requiring 13,034,431 XP. However, several skills (e.g., Dungeoneering, Invention, Slayer) extend to level 120, requiring 104,273,167 XP.
Is the XP Rate per Hour accurate?
The accuracy of the result depends entirely on the XP Rate per Hour you provide. Ensure you account for downtime, banking, supply runs, and potential boosts (like BXP, outfit boosts, or portable stations) to get the most realistic estimate.
What happens if my Current Level is higher than my Target Level?
The calculator will display an error message, as it’s impossible to “gain” time to reach a lower level. Your Target Level must be greater than your Current Level.
Does this calculator factor in Bonus XP (BXP)?
No, the calculator does not track your Bonus XP pool. You must manually include the effect of BXP (i.e., double XP gain) in your “XP Rate per Hour” input for the time you expect BXP to last.
