Gold per Hour Calculator

How to use this calculator

1. Run your farm for a measured amount of time — even 20 minutes gives a useful sample. Enter the duration at the top.
2. Log your drops. For each stack or item, enter the item name, how many you got, and the current AH price on your realm (check Undermine Exchange or the in-game auction house).
3. Add any vendor gold from trash or quest rewards to the “Vendor gold” field.
4. Leave the 5% AH cut toggle on if you plan to list these on the auction house — it's what you'll actually net.

Why measure your gold per hour?

“GPH” is the great equalizer in World of Warcraft gold making. A farm that drops rare gear can feel exciting but actually pay less per hour than a boring herbing route. Measuring gold per hour turns vibes into numbers, so you can compare a Draenor garrison run to herb farming in Dragonflight zones to running old raids for transmog — all in the same units.

Tips for accurate numbers

• Use the lower end of the current AH price, not the highest listing — you're competing with undercutters.
• For items that sell slowly, discount the price further or track a separate “realized” gold/hour a week later.
• Do a few runs before trusting the number. One lucky rare drop can inflate a single sample significantly.
• Compare the share-link results across your guild — what works on one realm may not work on another.
