Each demo replaces the current inputs and calculates immediately. Your saved plans stay in this browser. These are assumed numbers, not game prices or measured earnings.

When an upgrade helps

Compare two upgrades against saving with your current setup.

When saving wins

Use a smaller goal to see why a higher income can still take longer.

Keep a Cash reserve

See how keeping more Cash changes the wait before buying.

Need your Cash/min? Measure a sell run

Keep the same ants, boosts and route. Record your wallet before and after a timed run. The sample stays in this page; it is not saved or uploaded.

Count the whole run, including collecting, walking and selling. 90 seconds = 1.5 minutes.

    Planner questions

    Does this planner use official upgrade prices?

    No. Enter prices from your current game and measure or estimate the income after each upgrade. There are no verified price presets in this version. Example numbers only demonstrate the calculator.

    How is time to my target calculated?

    The current setup uses (target Cash minus current Cash) divided by current income. For each upgrade, the planner first waits until its cost plus your reserve is affordable, deducts the cost, then earns the remaining target at the new rate.

    What does the repayment time mean?

    It is the upgrade price divided by the increase in income, measured from the purchase. If income does not increase, there is no repayment from extra income. A short repayment time does not always mean the fastest route to a nearby Cash target.

    Are these guaranteed completion times?

    They are estimates using a steady income rate. Purchases are treated as instant. Boost expiration, travel changes, random outcomes, extra purchases and changes to the game can alter the result.

    Where are my saved plans stored?

    Only in local storage in this browser on this device. They do not sync to Roblox or other devices. Delete individual plans here, delete all saved plans, or clear this site’s browser data.

    What do the worked examples show?

    They compare an upgrade that helps, a nearby target where saving wins, and the effect of keeping a larger reserve. Each demo uses assumed numbers to explain the calculation, replaces the current inputs, and leaves your saved plans alone.

    How can I share a calculation?

    Calculate first, then use Copy result or Save result image. The estimate includes entered amounts and upgrade names, so check it before sharing. Your saved plan name is excluded. The website link opens the planner without restoring the original inputs.
