The calculator keeps rates, prices, averages, and probability assumptions visible instead of hiding them.

How the OSRS Herb Run Calculator works

Expected herbs per run equal patches multiplied by average herbs per patch. Total herbs multiply herbs per run by the number of runs. Seed cost equals patches times seed cost times runs. Patch cost equals patches times cost per patch times runs. Revenue equals total herbs times herb value. Profit equals revenue minus seed, patch, and route costs. GP per hour scales profit by total run time.
