Income Calculator

Any animal × any mutation → earnings, sell value, and time-to-goal

Per hour

Per day (AFK)
$35.4DD
Sell value (≈20x)

incomes from the cross-checked tier database; sell value uses the community ~20x rule; INFINITE size is at least 7x per community testing — actual rolls can be higher.

What To Do With These Numbers

The calculator's outputs map directly onto the game's three spending decisions. Per hour tells you whether a food tier jump is close: if the next tier costs what you earn in two hours, it's a tonight purchase; if it costs two days, train and farm first. Per day is your AFK budget — the number that accumulates while you're asleep, which is why a full pen of the best earners you can reach matters more than any single trophy catch. And sell value is the fast-cash line: when a new catch displaces an old slot-holder, the displaced animal converts to roughly twenty times its income, funding the next upgrade immediately.

Two comparisons worth running. First, mutation value: set the same animal with and without Rainbow to see exactly what a lucky roll adds — for a Waste Harvester, the Rainbow delta alone is more income than most players see in a week, which is why luck windows are treated as events. Second, pen composition: run your ten slots' combined rate and check it against the next food tier's price — if the jump costs more than a day of AFK, the efficient move is usually hunting deeper animals rather than grinding longer.

For the full context behind every number here, the tier list ranks all tracked animals with their sources, and the mutations guide explains the multiplier stack. Planning a food purchase? The food planner prices every jump against your actual income rate.

FAQ

How accurate is this income calculator?
The base incomes come from the cross-checked tier database (VacancyBee November 2026 vs Game.Guide data v1195), so the per-animal numbers are as solid as public data gets. The mutation multipliers are the official/community figures (Rainbow x20, INFINITE size at least 7x). INFINITE rolls can exceed 7x, so mutated results are floors, not ceilings.
Why can't I pick the Pumpkin Monster or egg animals?
Shop and egg animals don't earn a fixed income — they earn a percentage of your best animal (Pumpkin Monster x9, Giant Squid x3, and so on). A calculator needs a base number to multiply, and 'x9 of whatever your best is' has no single value. Pick your best fixed-income animal, multiply its income by 9 manually, and you have the Monster's rate.
Does the calculator account for x2 Cash or game passes?
Not directly — add it yourself: with the x2 Cash pass, double every result on this page. The pass doubles cash from every animal, so it doubles everything the calculator shows. Training Power doesn't affect income at all (it only speeds Throw Power gains).
How does the sell value estimate work?
It applies the community-tested rule that selling an animal pays roughly 20x its income per second. The exact constant isn't official, so treat the figure as a planning estimate — the actual number in your sell interface is always the truth.
Why does the savings-goal timer assume constant income?
Because AFK income in this game is constant by design — your pen earns the same rate every second whether you're playing or not. The estimate is accurate as long as you don't swap animals or add mutations mid-goal. If you upgrade mid-way, the real time will be shorter, which is a pleasant surprise rather than a problem.
Which animals show up in the calculator?
Every animal with a verifiable fixed income from the tracked database — from the Waste Harvester ($410Dd/s) down to the starter-tier earners. Animals without published incomes are excluded rather than guessed, per this site's data policy.

How To Use The Income Calculator (Step By Step)

The tool models how your pen actually earns, so it's worth thirty seconds to set it up right. Step one — pick your real roster. Open the Animals menu in-game, check which animals occupy your ten earning slots, and run the calculator once per distinct animal. A pen of five Waste Harvesters and five Meltdown Idols doesn't earn "the average" — it earns five of each rate, and the difference between modeling that correctly and incorrectly is billions per second in the late game. Step two — set mutations honestly. The game displays each animal's actual multiplier on screen; a Rainbow INFINITE catch is the ≥140x option here, a plain catch is None. Guessing up only cheats your own planning. Step three — set the count. The count field models stacked copies of the same animal, capped at ten because that's the pen's earning limit regardless of what you own.

The savings goal field is the planner's payoff. Type the next thing you want — a food tier price from the 38-food table, the Ghost Chowder's $18UD, whatever — and the timer converts your income into an arrival estimate. Watching that estimate drop as you swap in better animals is the whole progression game made visible: a single slot upgrade from B-tier to S-tier stock typically cuts days off a Phantom Lobster timeline, which is exactly why slot discipline beats food hoarding in the money farming order.

Three recurring use patterns are worth adopting. Before every food purchase: run your pen's combined rate and check the purchase against your per-hour line — the buy-now-or-wait verdict falls out of that comparison. Before every Robux consideration: price the Pumpkin Monster's x9 by multiplying your best fixed earner, then compare that rate against what the same 499 Robux buys elsewhere — on a weak roster the passes win; on a deep one, the Monster runs away with it. And after every mutation roll: re-run the lucky animal with its new multiplier to see whether it just became your pen's anchor — the Rainbow-on-a-top-earner case usually reorders your entire slot lineup.

Finally, a calibration note: after any session where the game's displayed incomes seem to disagree with the calculator, trust the screen — updates rebalance rates, and tracked databases lag by days, not minutes. Where we know a figure moved, the update log says so; where we don't, the animal's on-screen number is the source of truth and this tool is the planning layer on top of it.
