About Level Up Time Calculator

Hours needed are the experience gap divided by the hourly rate, then converted into days and whole sessions at your usual playing time. Converting a grind into real days is what makes it possible to judge whether a level is worth chasing before committing to it.

Formulas

Time needed

hours = experience needed / experience per hour

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 3 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.
