OSRS Woodcutting XP, Logs and Time
Plan an OSRS Woodcutting goal with exact XP thresholds, logs needed, sustainable rates, time, and editable log-value assumptions.

Use the calculator first
Open the OSRS Woodcutting Calculator and replace the example defaults with values for the exact OSRS activity you are modeling.
Formula and assumptions
XP remaining equals target XP minus current XP, clamped at zero. Logs needed equal XP remaining divided by XP per log and rounded up. Estimated hours divide logs needed by logs per hour. XP per hour multiplies XP per log by logs per hour. Gross log value multiplies required logs by entered value per log, while net value subtracts any extra per-log cost.
Worked example
If you have 500,000 XP remaining and average 100 XP per successful log, the calculator returns 5,000 logs before applying your logs-per-hour and value assumptions.
Visual explanation
The calculator includes a live result diagram and a calculation-flow diagram. They use the same inputs and outputs as the calculator rather than a separate hidden model.
Important limitations
The calculator does not automatically model success chance by tree, respawn time, Forestry events, tick manipulation, infernal axe effects, banking routes, nests, clue drops, crystal tool charges, boosts, or live Grand Exchange prices. Use realistic long-run averages for your setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What inputs matter most for this Woodcutting estimate?
- Use values for the exact method you plan to use, especially rate, price, success, yield, or probability inputs.
- Does this use live prices or account data?
- No. The calculator uses visible user-entered assumptions unless a field explicitly states otherwise.
- Why can actual results differ?
- Random outcomes, method execution, account unlocks, market prices, and game updates can change real results.
- Should I use best-case rates?
- Use sustainable long-run rates rather than a short perfect benchmark.
