For Cumulative Costs in the Builder Base, see Cumulative Costs/Builder Base.

Summary

The goal of this page will be to enumerate the total costs in time and resources. In order to do this, some assumptions will have to be made:

Consumables will not be counted. The cost and time of searching in Raids, removing Obstacles, training Troops, Spells, Siege Machines and boosting to Super Troops are considerable, but also completely impossible to estimate. The Buildings that already exist at the tutorial will be excluded from Town Hall 1's costs. Also, since the tutorial can't be skipped, and due to the small amount of Town Hall 1 contents, Town Halls 1 and 2 will be merged. The time listed will be total time and not "builder" time. For example, 5 upgrades that each take 1 day to complete would take 1 day with 5 builders. For the purposes of this exercise it will be listed as 5 days. Also, since gearing up uses home village resource but uses the master builder, the costs are listed here, but the builder time for gearing up is listed in the builder base's cumulative costs. Conversion to Gems, and real world money to upgrade everything in the game is now obsolete, since there are Magic Items to help upgrade. If you want to spend Gems to buy Resources or instantly finish upgrades, use the Calculator below. Last Updated: The June 2020 "Headhunter" Update.

Calculators

Buying Gold or Elixir with Gems

Calculations on this page assume that you always buy large amounts of resources at the maximum rate, therefore the cost of buying 4,000,000 gold is considered 1,141 gems rather the output of this calculator (1,400 gems).

Buying Dark Elixir with Gems

Again, calculations on this page assume that you always buy large amounts of resources at the maximum rate, therefore the cost of buying 100,000 dark elixir is considered 2,778 gems rather the output of this calculator (3,000 gems).

Buying Time with Gems





Buying Gems with $USD

Calculations on this page assume that you always buy large amounts of chests of gems, therefore the cost of buying 6,500 gems is considered USD 46.43 rather the output of this calculator (USD 49.99 by buying a box of gems).





Gold Costs (excluding walls)

This information is based on the number available to build and maximum level of each structure at each town hall level. Walls have been separated from buildings because they are so expensive they distort the stats, and now that they can be upgraded with either resource at higher levels it makes sense to treat them separately. See the individual pages for a cost break down.

Elixir Costs (excluding walls)

This information is based on the number available to build and max level of each troop/spell/hero/structure at each town hall level. See the individual pages for a cost break down.

Walls

Beyond level 8 Walls can be upgraded with either Gold or Elixir, but the cost to buy either resource via gems is the same. Also note that currently only 100 Walls can be upgraded to level 14.

Dark Elixir Costs

This information is based on the max level of each dark troop/spell/hero at each town hall level. See the individual pages for a cost break down.

Time Costs

The calculations for time costs are somewhat different. You can't simply add up all the times and calculate the gem cost. Since you can't buy extra time, that means the gem cost for each individual upgrade must be calculated and then summed together. This will cause the gem cost to be more expensive then simply putting the times into the time to gem calculator would indicate.

Research times are being separated from build times because there is only one lab. That means you can't speed up overall research times by buying more builders.

Miscellaneous

Builder's Huts

Builder Huts can only be purchased with gems. You're also given some gems at the start of the game and you get some from achievements.

Decorations

The cost to buy decorations are listed here, assuming that all decorations are bought. However, they aren't considered in the grand total.

Decorations Gold Elixir Gem Total 4,000,000 67,000 1,500

Daily Discounts and Special Packs

If you decide to gem everything, then buying Daily Discounts from the Trader and the various special packs will save some money. Again, they aren't considered in the grand total. Note that buying a Builder Potion costs 285 Gems, but it reduces up to 45 hours of Builder time (54 if the Master Builder is working in the Home Village), which is only worth 231.25 (or 277.5) Gems if the rate above 1 day is used. Similarly, buying a Research Potion costs 70 Gems, but it reduces up to 9 hours of Research time, which is only worth 46.25 Gems if the rate above 1 day is used.

Total Time

(Builder Time/# of Huts) or Research Time, whichever is longer. Any times with an (R) mean that the research time is longer than the builder time. This means builders will be idle while waiting for research to complete. If you have all six builders, the total research time is shorter than total builder time. Note that the lab can still work even if under upgrade. Therefore, it's inefficient to wait until literally all of your research upgrades are finished before beginning the Town Hall upgrading, as the lab be idle for the duration of your Town Hall upgrade and its own upgrade immediately after. The "Time Margin" column is the total time of the next Town Hall upgrade and the next lab upgrade measured in days. You should start the Town Hall upgrade if the remaining research time approaches that value.
