Use the built-in XP table, milestone breakdown, and time budget tool to plan your path from start to finish.
How to Use Our RuneScape XP Calculator
Enter your current skill info and your goal to find out how much XP you need and how long it will take to reach your target level in RuneScape.
Select a Skill: Click the skill you want to train from the grid. You can also type a skill name in the search box to find it fast.
Username: Type your RuneScape username and click "Look Up" to pull your current level and XP straight from the Hiscores. This step is optional.
Current Level: Enter the level you are right now. This will auto-fill your current XP.
Current XP: Enter your exact XP if you know it. This will update your current level to match.
Target Level: Enter the level you want to reach. You can also click a quick button like Lv 99 or Max XP to set your goal in one click.
Target XP: Enter an exact XP number if your goal is a specific XP amount instead of a level.
Enable Virtual / Elite Levels: Skills that go past 99 already let you aim for their own top level. Turn this on to set any skill's target as high as level 120.
Bonus XP Pool: Enter any bonus XP you already have saved up. The calculator subtracts this from the XP you need to earn.
XP Boost (%): Enter the total percent boost you get from things like outfits, auras, or bonus events. For example, type 10 if you have a 10% boost.
Time Budget: Enter how many hours you plan to play. The calculator will show how much XP and how many levels you can gain in that time.
Access Filter: Choose "All" to see every training method, "F2P only" for free-to-play methods, or "Members only" for members methods.
Methods table: Each method shows the levels it suits and its base XP per hour before boosts. Type a different rate into any row, or your own rate into "Your own method", to see how long your goal would take.
Calculate Button: Click "Calculate" to see your full results. You will get a summary, a progress bar, time estimates, a step-by-step breakdown, a chart of XP rates, and a table of training methods to compare.
What Is RuneScape XP and How Does Leveling Work?
In RuneScape, XP stands for experience points. You earn XP every time you do an action in the game, like chopping a tree, catching a fish, or fighting a monster. As you earn more XP, your skill level goes up. There are 29 skills in the game.1 Most of them cap at level 99, some go up to level 110, and others, such as Slayer, Herblore and Invention, go up to level 120.1 If you are focused on training combat stats specifically, our RuneScape Combat Calculator can help you plan how Attack, Strength, Defence, and other combat skills affect your overall combat level.
Each level needs more XP than the last. Getting from level 1 to level 2 takes only 83 XP. But going from level 98 to 99 takes over 1.2 million XP. The total XP needed to reach level 99 is 13,034,431 in every skill except Invention, an elite skill that follows a different experience curve.2 The maximum XP you can ever hold in one skill is 200 million.2
Why XP Matters in RuneScape
Your skill levels decide what you can do in the game. A higher Mining level lets you mine better ores. A higher Cooking level lets you cook better food. Many quests, items, and areas in the game are locked behind level requirements. Reaching level 99 in a skill earns you a skillcape.4 Prayer is another skill where planning ahead saves a lot of gold.
How to Train Skills Faster
Different training methods give different amounts of XP per hour. Some methods are fast but cost a lot of gold. Others are slow but make you money. Picking the right method depends on your goals and your budget. Ironman accounts cannot use the Grand Exchange, so they have to gather their own supplies for any method that uses them.3 XP boosts from items like the lumberjack outfit or bonus XP events can also speed up your progress. Members have access to more methods and faster training options than free-to-play (F2P) players.
Knowing how much XP you still need and how long it will take helps you plan your training. This calculator does that math for you so you can pick the best method and reach your goal without guessing.
