How is XP remaining to the next level calculated?

The tool subtracts your current XP from the total XP the next level requires. If you have 8,000 of 12,000 XP, you need 4,000 more, which is shown along with your 67 percent progress through the level.

Where do I find the XP required for my next level?

In-game your experience bar shows current and required XP, and community level tables list the cumulative requirement for every level. Enter the required figure for your specific next level for an exact result.

How does it estimate the time to level up?

It divides the XP you still need by your XP-per-hour rate. At 4,000 XP remaining and 2,000 XP per hour that is two hours, assuming you keep the same farming method and uptime.

Does rested or bonus XP change the result?

Rested XP and event bonuses raise your effective XP per hour, so enter the boosted rate to reflect them. The tool itself does not model the rested bar separately, only the rate you supply.

Why is my actual leveling slower than the estimate?

Travel, queue times, and breaks lower your real XP per hour below the peak rate. Use an average rate measured over a full session rather than your best burst for a dependable time estimate.

Leveling in Final Fantasy XIV comes down to two questions: how much XP is left, and how long that takes at your current pace. This calculator answers both from your live progress and farming rate so you know exactly where you stand and when you will ding.

How it works

The remaining XP and time are direct subtractions and a division:

xp remaining  = required for next level − current xp
progress %    = current xp / required × 100
time to level = xp remaining / xp per hour

Enter the required-XP figure for your specific next level — it rises as you climb — and the percentage and time outputs track your real position in the bar.

Example and tips

If the next level needs 12,000 XP and you already have 8,000, you are 67 percent through and need 4,000 more. Farming at 2,000 XP per hour, that is two hours of play. Measure your XP-per-hour over a whole session, not a lucky burst, so the time estimate holds up across travel and queue downtime.
