How is net gp per hour calculated?

Net rate is gross gp per hour minus the supply cost per hour. A method earning 8 million gross with 1 million in supplies nets 7 million per hour. Comparing on net rate, not gross, is what actually matters for your bank balance.

Why rank on net rate instead of gross?

Some high-gross methods burn expensive supplies and net far less than a cheaper method. Sorting purely by gross would mislead you into a method that earns less after costs. The ranking here uses net rate so the top entry is genuinely your most profitable option.

How is total gold projected?

Total gold is net gp per hour multiplied by the hours you enter. It assumes a steady rate, which is realistic for grinding methods but optimistic for methods with rare big drops that average out only over many hours.

Should I factor in my skill requirements?

This tool compares methods you can already do. If a method needs higher levels, only include it once you meet the requirement, otherwise its projected rate is hypothetical and not achievable with your current account.

Does a higher rate always mean I should switch?

Usually, but consider intensity and risk. A slightly lower but AFK-friendly method can be better if you cannot give full attention, and high-variance methods may underperform their average across a short session.

Picking the wrong money-making method quietly costs you millions of gp per session, especially when supply costs eat into a high gross rate. This calculator compares your methods on net profit per hour, ranks them honestly, and projects your total gold for the time you actually have.

How it works

Each method’s true value is what it nets after supplies, and total gold scales with the hours you put in:

netRate   = grossPerHour − supplyCostPerHour
totalGold = netRate × hoursAvailable

Methods are sorted by netRate descending, so the entry at the top is your most profitable option after costs, not the one with the biggest gross headline.

Example and tips

A boss earning 9M gross but spending 2M on supplies nets 7M per hour, while a skilling method at 5M gross with no supplies nets 5M. The boss wins on rate, but over a relaxed 3-hour session where you cannot focus fully, the AFK skilling method may realise more of its rate. Re-run the comparison whenever supply prices shift, since a rise in rune or food costs can flip the ranking.
