Loot Drop Probability Calculator
Grinding for a rare item with a tiny drop rate feels endless, and it helps to know the real odds before you commit an evening to farming. A common mistake is assuming a 1 percent drop means you are guaranteed the item in 100 kills, which is false. This calculator uses the correct at least once formula: your cumulative chance equals one minus the probability of missing on every attempt, that is one minus (1 minus the drop rate) raised to the number of runs. Enter the drop rate and how many kills or runs you plan, and it instantly shows your overall chance, the expected number of drops, and the run counts needed to reach 50, 90, and 99 percent confidence. That last number is the honest answer to how much farming a rare truly takes. All math runs locally in your browser with nothing uploaded, so plan your grind with real probabilities.

Frequently asked questions
How is the chance of a rare drop over many runs calculated?
It applies the at least once formula, 1 minus (1 minus drop rate) raised to the number of kills or runs, which is the correct way to combine independent attempts.
If the drop rate is 1 percent, am I guaranteed it in 100 runs?
No, at a 1 percent rate over 100 runs the at least once chance is about 63 percent, not 100, because each run is independent.
Does it account for pity or guaranteed drops?
No, it assumes a flat independent drop rate each run; guaranteed or pity mechanics change the math and are not modeled here.
