Wave failures halve cash rewards. Ensure your active damage per second is sufficient to defeat boss waves before scaling your cash multiplier.

Cash generation formulas

How the calculator models the tycoon economy.

Base reward per wave

Base_Reward = 15 * wave_number.

Effective wave yield

Current_Wave_Yield = Base_Reward * (1.0 + 0.2 * multiplier_level) * (1.0 + cloud_farm_bonus + weapon_bonus).

Upgrade cost scaling

Next_Upgrade_Cost = 500 * POWER(1.18, current_multiplier_level).

Path A (direct save)

Waves_Path_A = (Target_Expansion_Cost - Current_Cash) / Current_Wave_Yield.

Path B (upgrade then save)

Waves_Path_B = waves_to_buy_upgrade + waves_to_save_post_upgrade.

Constraints & warnings

Real math, real edge cases.

Wave failure penalty

Wave failures halve cash rewards. Ensure your active DPS is sufficient to defeat boss waves before scaling your cash multiplier.

Upgrade cost cap

Exponential growth is capped at multiplier level 50 to prevent overflow errors in the cost display.

Weapon payout stacking

Up to three weapons at 35% each can stack. The slider caps at 105% to model that ceiling.
