How Experience Points Is Calculated

Runescape uses an exponential formula where the XP needed for each level increases as you get stronger. The calculation finds the total XP needed for your target level and subtracts the XP for your current level.

XP = floor(1/4 * sum(i + 300 * 2^(i/7)))

Where:

  • i = The current level integer
  • sum = The summation from level 1 to target level minus 1

First, we determine the exact XP value for your current level using the standard sum formula. Next, we find the XP value for your target level. Finally, we subtract your current XP from the target XP to find the difference. This shows exactly how much effort remains to finish your goal. Using this specific method guarantees the math is precise for your planning.

What Your Experience Points Means

This number tells you exactly how many actions you must perform to reach your desired level. It translates directly into the time investment required for your specific training goal.

Reaching Level 99 requires accumulating 13,034,431 XP. This milestone grants access to the skill cape and is the traditional mark of mastery for most players. It often takes hundreds of hours depending on the skill.

Achieving Level 120 requires 104,273,167 XP. This is the maximum level for most skills and represents the pinnacle of dedication. It is best suited for players aiming for a max total level or comp cape.

Mid-Level Goals (e.g., Level 70-90) generally range from 733,000 to 5.3 million XP. These goals unlock essential gear or quests and are great short-term targets.

Important

Time estimates assume standard training speeds, but your actual rate may vary based on interruptions or efficiency.

These calculations are educational estimates based on current game mechanics and are not official game statistics. Jagex may update game mechanics which could alter XP requirements.
