Clash of Clans Upgrade Cost & Time Calculator

Plan your next progression steps with a calculator that covers every upgradable item in Clash of Clans: buildings, laboratory research, heroes, hero equipment, and pets. Enter your current level and the calculator returns the exact elixir, gold, dark elixir, shiny ore, glowy ore, or starry ore cost to reach any target level, along with the total upgrade time — including builder counts and book of building shortcuts.

The calculator uses the most recent balance patch, so numbers stay in sync with the current live game. This makes it easy to answer common questions like "how much dark elixir do I need to finish my Barbarian King?" or "if I use a rune of dark elixir, which hero saves me the most days?" without doing spreadsheet math yourself.

What the calculator supports

How to use it

Pick a category from the sidebar, enter your current level, and set your target level. The calculator shows the incremental cost per upgrade step so you can decide whether to jump one level or all the way to max. If you have hammers or book of everything from the season shop, toggle them on to see how many days you save.

Frequently asked questions

Is the calculator updated after balance patches?

Yes. Upgrade costs and times are refreshed after each official Clash of Clans balance patch.

Does it account for events and discounts?

Standard percentage discount events are supported. Custom bundle offers are not since they change frequently.

Can I plan multi-item upgrades at once?

Yes. Add items to the queue and the calculator sums the total elixir, gold, dark elixir, and ores required.

Are Clan Capital costs included?

Clan Capital costs are not included yet. This is on the roadmap.
