Plan your next purchase
Enter values from your current game. No assumed fish stats or bonuses.
Fill all three fields to see a budget estimate.
Values stay in this browser session. The estimate is simple arithmetic and does not predict hatches or game updates.
How the estimate works
Remaining money is the purchase cost minus your balance, floored at zero. Waiting time is remaining money divided by your entered income per second, rounded up to the next second.
Use the amount your balance actually gains. The planner assumes constant income and no other spending. It does not apply a hidden fish, size, mutation, or pool formula.
Read the result as a budget
If you already have enough money, the wait is zero. If you still need money and your earning rate is zero, there is no finite waiting estimate. Change an input when your live balance or earnings change.
Measure the rate before estimating the wait
Record your balance before and after a known interval without making purchases. Divide the gain by the interval in seconds. Keep the collection and visible earning conditions unchanged during that observation; otherwise the resulting rate may describe several different situations.
A hypothetical gain of 600 over 30 seconds gives 20 money per second. If earnings arrive in batches, observe several batches instead of treating a quiet moment as zero income. Recalculate when a new hatch, lost fish, visible boost, or another purchase changes the inputs.
Worked example: hypothetical values
| Target | Input or calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Current money | The balance available now | 250 |
| Target price | The full purchase cost | 1,250 |
| Income | The measured earning rate | 20 per second |
| Remaining amount | 1,250 minus 250 | 1,000 |
| Estimated wait | 1,000 divided by 20 | 50 seconds |
Questions about this step
Are the example numbers actual fish stats?
No. They illustrate the arithmetic. Use the current balance, price, and measured collection earnings from your game.
Does this forecast offline earnings or a hatch result?
No. It is a constant-rate purchase budget. It does not predict a random hatch, apply a hidden multiplier, or establish whether offline income exists.
