CalcKitElden Ring Build Calculator
Your build
Estimates based on community data from the Elden Ring wiki. This is an unofficial fan tool, not affiliated with FromSoftware or Bandai Namco. The maximum level is 713, reached when all eight attributes are at 99.
Example: level 100 → 150 costs 5,114,581 runes for 50 attribute points; your next level alone costs 61,591 runes.
Behind the numbers
How rune costs are calculated
Each level in Elden Ring raises one of eight attributes — Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, or Arcane — by one point, and each level costs more runes than the last. The cost grows slowly at first, then climbs steeply: level 1 to 2 costs 673 runes, level 50 to 51 costs 15,102, and level 150 to 151 costs 153,680. This calculator adds up the cost of every single level between your current level and your target level, so the total is the exact sum for that range under the community formula, not an average multiplied by the number of levels. Pick your starting class to fill in its starting level, or type your current level directly.
The community-documented cost to go from level L to level L+1 is: first work out x = ((L + 81) − 92) × 0.02, with x set to 0 if it comes out below 0. Then cost = floor((x + 0.1) × (L + 81)2) + 1. The total for a range is the sum of that cost for every level in the range. Worked example for level 100: x = (181 − 92) × 0.02 = 1.78; cost = floor(1.88 × 1812) + 1 = floor(61,590.68) + 1 = 61,591 runes. For level 1, x is below 0, so x = 0 and cost = floor(0.1 × 822) + 1 = floor(672.4) + 1 = 673 runes. Adding every level from 100 to 149 gives the 100 → 150 total of 5,114,581 runes.
Worked examples
Example rune costs
| Level range | Levels gained | Total runes | Typical goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 → 25 | 24 | 39,694 | Early game, first bosses |
| 1 → 50 | 49 | 262,472 | Mid game build coming together |
| 9 → 125 | 116 | 3,979,025 | Vagabond to a common PvP meta level |
| 100 → 150 | 50 | 5,114,581 | Popular PvE meta level |
| 150 → 200 | 50 | 11,141,256 | High level, Shadow of the Erdtree |
| 1 → 713 | 712 | About 1.69 billion | Maximum level, all attributes at 99 |
Tips for planning your build
Pick a target level before you spend runes: 125 and 150 are common stopping points for co-op and PvP, so builds at those levels find matches more easily.
Each level gives exactly one attribute point, so 50 levels from 100 to 150 means 50 points to place.
Most attributes give less per point past their soft caps, so spreading points very thin usually beats pushing one stat to 99.
Keep a stock of golden runes: they are safe from loss on death and can be crushed at a Site of Grace when you need the last few thousand runes for a level.
Remember that runes drop when you die, so spend them or bank them in golden runes before a risky boss fight.

Frequently asked questions
How many runes do I need to go from level 100 to 150?
5,114,581 runes. That is the sum of the cost of each level from 100 to 149, with the single most expensive step, 149 to 150, costing 151,295 runes.
What is the maximum level in Elden Ring?
713. That is the level you reach when all eight attributes — Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane — are at 99. Reaching it from level 1 costs about 1.69 billion runes in total.
Are these rune costs official?
No. Elden Ring is made by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco, and neither company publishes a rune cost table. These numbers come from the community-documented formula on the Elden Ring wiki, which matches the in-game level-up screen for the levels players have checked. Treat them as planning estimates.
Does my starting class change the rune cost?
Only through its starting level. A Wretch starts at level 1 and a Confessor at level 10, so the Wretch needs more levels, and more runes, to reach the same target. Once you pick a class, only your current level matters for the cost of the next level.
How many attribute points do I get per level?
One point per level, placed in any attribute you choose at a Site of Grace. Going from level 100 to 150 gives you 50 attribute points to place.
