Idle Prestige Calculator

Decide when to prestige in any idle game. Compares immediate production against projected post-prestige production to find the optimal reset time.

How to use: Choose a calculation mode below, enter your current production rate and target, and the calculator will estimate how long it takes to reach your goal. All math runs locally in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
No prestige (keep current run)
9.64M
after 24 hours of production
Prestige now + replay
9.64M
Not worth it yet. Keep playing this run a bit longer.
How to read this: if the prestige-now value is higher than the no-prestige value, you should reset. If not, wait. This calculator assumes your prestige bonus is exactly the value you entered — actual game formulas may differ slightly, so treat this as a guide, not a rule.

About the Idle Prestige Calculator

The Idle Prestige Calculator is one of several free tools we offer for idle, incremental, and roguelike players. Whether you are optimizing your Cookie Clicker ascension strategy, planning a Universal Paperclips phase transition, or calculating time-to-target in any idle game, this calculator handles the math for you.

What this calculator handles

  • Time to target — how long until you reach a specific resource amount, accounting for compound growth
  • Production rate required — what CPS you need to reach a goal in a fixed window
  • Growth forecast — projected total after a given time window with a growth rate

Tips for accurate results

  • Use the highest realistic growth rate for your current game phase
  • Account for any cap on production (some games cap per-second gains)
  • For prestige-heavy games, run the calculator separately for each prestige tier
