How to Use the Gacha Budget Calculator
Planning your spending before a new character launches helps you set a rational budget. Enter the pull rate, pity limit, and cost per pull to see expected costs, 50% probability costs, and the worst-case pity cost.
The expected cost is the long-run average. The pity cost is the guaranteed maximum budget you'd ever need. Set your spending limit somewhere between these two values.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pity guarantees you get the character if you reach a certain number of pulls without success. For example, a pity of 90 means you're guaranteed it within 90 pulls.
Expected is the long-run average. The 50% cost means there's a 50% chance you'll get the character at or below that cost. Bad luck can push you far past the expected cost.
No, this uses a fixed pull rate. Games with soft pity will have lower actual expected costs than shown here.
