Counts raw XP points from the start of the current level, assuming 0 progress on its experience bar. It does not estimate mob kills, experience farms, grindstone returns, anvil costs or stored progress within a level.
Why does XP per level increase?
- Level 0–16 requires 2 × level + 7 points to reach the next level.
- Level 16–30 requires 5 × level − 38 points to reach the next level.
- Level 31 onward requires 9 × level − 158 points per additional level.
For example, level 0 to 30 costs 1,395 points, but level 27 to 30 costs only 306. The green experience-bar progress within your current level is not included in this calculator.
