Calculate the probability of getting an item drop after a certain number of attempts. Enter the drop rate percentage and number of tries to see the cumulative probability. Essential for understanding how many runs or kills you need for that rare item.

Key Features

  • Cumulative drop probability calculation
  • Expected attempts to drop
  • Percentile-based estimates
  • Probability distribution display

Common Use Cases

  • Estimating farm time for rare item drops
  • Understanding the probability behind low drop rates
  • Planning grinding sessions efficiently
  • Game design — balancing item rarity

Frequently Asked Questions

How is cumulative probability calculated?
The formula is: 1 - (1 - dropRate)^attempts. For a 1% drop rate over 100 attempts, you have a 63.4% chance (not 100%) of getting the item.
