How is the cost per craft calculated?

For each material the tool multiplies the quantity needed per craft by its cost per unit, sums those line costs, and adds any flat base crafting fee. That sum is the cost to craft one item.

How do I include intermediate sub-components?

Add each sub-component as its own material row with its effective per-unit cost. Because the total is just a sum of line costs, you can roll multi-step recipes into one figure by listing every input you actually consume.

What is the base crafting fee for?

Some recipes charge a flat fee in gold or currency on top of the materials. Enter that fee once and it is added to every single craft, then scaled with the batch quantity.

How does the batch quantity work?

The per-craft cost is multiplied by the number of items you want to make. This assumes each craft consumes the same materials, which is true for most fixed recipes.

Can I use this for any in-game currency?

Yes — the tool is currency-agnostic. Enter unit costs in gold, runes, coins, or any value you like, and the totals come out in the same units.

This calculator lets you price out an Elden Ring recipe before you commit your materials. Add each ingredient, set its quantity and unit cost, and the tool returns the cost per craft and the total for a whole batch — with a clear per-material breakdown.

How it works

The maths is a straightforward weighted sum:

Line cost. For each material, quantity per craft × cost per unit.
Per-craft cost. The sum of every material’s line cost, plus a flat base crafting fee if the recipe charges one.
Batch total. The per-craft cost multiplied by how many items you want to make.

Per craft = base fee + Σ (qtyᵢ × unitCostᵢ)

Total = per craft × batch quantity

Worked example

A recipe needing 3 Smithing Stone at 400 each, 2 Beast Blood at 150 each, and 1 Glintstone Dust at 600, with a 100 base fee, crafted 5 times:

Smithing Stone : 3 × 400 = 1,200
Beast Blood    : 2 × 150 = 300
Glintstone Dust: 1 × 600 = 600
Base fee       : 100
Per craft      : 1,200 + 300 + 600 + 100 = 2,200
Batch (×5)     : 2,200 × 5 = 11,000

Tips and notes

For recipes with intermediate steps, add each sub-component as its own row using the cost it took to make — the total then reflects the full crafting chain.
Compare crafting cost against buying the finished item directly to decide whether crafting is worth it.
The tool is currency-agnostic, so the same totals work for gold, runes, or any resource. Everything runs locally in your browser.
