What XP thresholds does this use?

It uses the real Stardew Valley cumulative XP requirements: 100, 380, 770, 1300, 2150, 3300, 4800, 6900, 10000, and 15000 for levels 1 through 10. These are the same values the game uses for every skill.

Why does each level need more XP than the last?

The thresholds grow steadily, so later levels demand much larger jumps. Going from level 9 to 10 needs 5000 XP, while the first level needs only 100, which is why the final levels feel like the longest grind.

How are actions remaining estimated?

The tool divides the XP remaining to your next level by the XP value of the action you pick. For example, if a crop harvest gives a set amount of farming XP, it shows how many harvests close the gap.

Is XP shared across skills?

No. Each skill — Farming, Mining, Foraging, Fishing, Combat — tracks its own XP independently against the same threshold table. Enter the total for the one skill you are checking.

What happens at level 10?

Level 10 is the cap at 15000 cumulative XP. Once you reach it the tool reports max level with no further XP needed; any extra XP beyond 15000 does not raise the skill level.

Knowing exactly how much XP stands between you and the next skill level turns grinding into a plan. This calculator reads your current total skill XP, finds your level from Stardew Valley’s real threshold table, and shows the precise XP — and number of typical actions — left to level up.

How it works

Stardew stores cumulative XP per skill. The official thresholds to reach each level are:

L1=100  L2=380  L3=770  L4=1300  L5=2150
L6=3300 L7=4800 L8=6900 L9=10000 L10=15000

Your level is the highest threshold your XP has passed. The XP to the next level is that next threshold minus your current XP, and actions remaining is simply that gap divided by the XP per action you choose.

Tips and example

At 4000 total Farming XP you are level 6 (past 3300, short of 4800), so you need 4800 - 4000 = 800 XP for level 7. If a typical harvest grants a fixed chunk of farming XP, dividing 800 by that value shows how many harvests remain. The last two levels carry the heaviest XP cost, so plan extra time for the climb to 10.
