Formula Used
The calculator first finds total actions by dividing target finished units by output per action.
It then calculates material cost per action using every listed ingredient.
Material cost per action = sum of material quantity × material price.
Total input cost = actions × material cost per action + extra costs.
Gross revenue = successful finished units × effective sell price + byproduct revenue.
Exchange tax = successful sold units × minimum of item tax or tax cap.
Net profit = gross revenue − exchange tax − total input cost − time cost.
Profit per hour = net profit ÷ total hours.
Total hours include active crafting speed and optional banking delay.

OSRS Crafting Profit Guide
Why Profit Changes Often
Crafting profit in Old School RuneScape changes quickly. Prices move when players train skills, prepare for updates, or flip items.
A method that looks strong today may turn weak tomorrow. This calculator helps you test a route before buying supplies.
You can enter live market prices, choose your batch size, and include the exchange tax. That gives a more realistic result.
Materials Matter Most
Most crafting methods depend on tight margins. Dragonhide bodies, jewellery, battlestaves, and glass items can all shift by a few coins.
Small price changes become large when you craft thousands of units. The calculator allows four material lines.
This makes it useful for simple and advanced recipes. You can also add small items like thread, moulds, or optional charges.
Time and XP Value
Profit alone is not always enough. Some players accept lower profit when the experience rate is strong.
Others want the highest coins per hour. This tool compares both sides. It calculates total XP, XP per hour, profit per action,
and profit per hour. Banking time can also be added. That makes slower methods easier to compare against fast methods.
Tax and Break Even Planning
The exchange tax can reduce final profit. Ignoring it may turn a small gain into a loss.
This calculator includes a tax rate and a tax cap field. It also shows the break even sell price.
That number tells you the minimum price needed to avoid losing coins. Use it before placing large offers.
Batch Control
Starting cash is important for planning. The tool estimates how many actions and finished units you can afford.
This helps prevent buying more supplies than your cash stack supports. Use conservative prices when markets are unstable.
Recheck prices before every large batch. Good planning protects your coins and improves training decisions.
