How the math works

Two plain formulas

The calculator does not query a hidden price list. It uses transparent budgeting arithmetic on the numbers you enter.

Maximum safe bid

cash on hand − cash you want to keep

If your reserve already exceeds your cash, the safe-bid result is zero.

Simple payback

planned bid ÷ extra income per minute

This estimate appears only when you provide an observed or estimated income gain.

Questions

Calculator FAQ

What is the maximum safe bid?

It is your cash on hand minus the amount you choose to keep. It is a personal budget limit, not an official character value.

How is payback time calculated?

The calculator divides your planned bid by the extra collection income per minute that you enter.

Does the calculator know the fair price of a character?

No. A reliable public character value table is not available, so the tool uses only your own cash, reserve, bid, and income inputs.

What should I do if I do not know the income gain?

Leave it blank or choose Unknown. The reserve and affordability results still work, while payback stays hidden.
