Azur Lane XP Calculator

1. Pick the XP table: a standard ship on EN/JP, a standard ship on CN, or an Ultra Rare or Decisive ship.
2. Enter the current level, any XP already in this level, and the target level. The XP needed shows at once.
3. For a battle count, add the node's base XP and set rank, flagship or MVP, morale and the logistics plan.

Ship XP is the experience a shipgirl earns to gain levels. Levels raise her base stats and her enhancement caps, and they gate limit breaks at Lv.10, 30 and 70.

Ships earn XP from combat, the Dorm, the Lecture Hall and commissions. Commander XP is a separate track for your own account level, which runs to Lv.200 and uses a different table.

The level cap is 125. Lv.100 is a wall: past it a ship needs a Cognitive Awakening, paid in Cognitive Chips, which raises her cap by 5 levels at a time. Reaching Lv.125 needs Awakening+ at Lv.120, paid in Cognitive Arrays.

The calculator adds the XP-to-next-level values from the Azur Lane Wiki table, level by level, then takes off the XP already on the bar.

1. Pick the right table. From Lv.70 to 99 the EN/JP table asks for more XP per level than CN. From Lv.100 both use the same values.
2. Add each level's XP to next. Lv.70 to 71 costs 12,100 on EN/JP, 11,000 on CN and 13,200 for a UR ship.
3. Subtract the XP already earned in the current level.
4. Divide by the XP one battle gives you, and round up to whole battles.

The steepest single step is Lv.99 to 100: 158,400 XP on EN/JP, 132,000 on CN and 171,600 for UR and DR ships.

A standard ship on the EN server is at Lv.70 with 5,000 XP on her bar. The goal is Lv.100, farming the 12-4 boss (1,123 base XP) with an S rank, as flagship, at very happy morale.

1. XP from Lv.70 to 100 on EN/JP: 1,120,675 - 289,500 = 831,175 XP.
2. Minus the 5,000 already earned: 826,175 XP needed.
3. XP per battle: 1,123 x 1.2 x 1.5 x 1.2 = 2,425.68 XP.
4. Battles: 826,175 / 2,425.68 = 340.6, so 341 boss battles.

The same ship outside the flagship slot needs 511 battles. On CN, Lv.70 to 100 costs only 710,500 XP, because the EN/JP table is steeper in that range.

Server

EN and JP ask for more XP than CN from Lv.70 to 99. Lv.90 to 100 costs 492,000 XP on EN/JP and 410,000 on CN.

Rarity

The wiki says Decisive and Ultra Rare ships need about 20% more XP per level. Common, Rare, Elite and Super Rare ships all use the standard table.

Battle Multipliers

S rank gives 1.2x, very happy morale 1.2x, the flagship 1.5x and the MVP 2x. A sad ship at 0 morale earns only 0.5x.

Level Caps

On EN and JP a standard ship stops at 70, 80 and 90 until limit broken. XP earned at those caps is lost, not stored.

Surplus Experience

At Lv.100, 105, 110, 115 and 120 without an awakening, XP is stored as surplus, up to 3 million. It levels the ship when she awakens. Lv.125 stores nothing.

Ultra Rare and Decisive ships follow their own table, and the gap widens at high levels.

Values are total XP from Lv.1, from the Azur Lane Wiki. Lv.100 to 125 costs 3,425,000 XP for a standard ship and 4,110,000 for a UR or DR ship.

Planning a Push to Lv.100

See how many boss runs a new ship needs, and whether the flagship slot is worth giving her.

Deciding on Cognitive Chips

Check how much XP sits between Lv.100 and 120 before you spend chips on awakenings.

Spending XP Packs

Compare XP packs against the XP needed. The wiki notes one T1 XP Pack is 3,000 XP.

Choosing Which Ship to Level

A UR ship costs about 21% more than a standard ship to reach Lv.125 on CN. Plan your farming fleet with that in mind.

1. Using a Flat XP per Level

XP per level grows fast. Lv.1 to 2 costs 100 XP, and Lv.99 to 100 costs 158,400 on EN/JP. Our old version of this page used a flat 1,000 per level and was far off.

2. Applying a Rarity Bonus to Every Ship

Only Ultra Rare and Decisive ships use a higher table. Rare, Elite and Super Rare ships level at the standard rate.

3. Farming Past a Cap

A ship capped at 70, 80 or 90 on EN/JP loses the XP she earns there. Limit break first.

4. Leaving Morale Low

A sad ship earns half XP. Rotate ships or use the Dorm to keep morale up.

5. Using the Wrong Server Table

Guides written for CN understate the XP needed from Lv.70 to 100 on EN and JP.

The XP totals match the Azur Lane Wiki table exactly. The battle count is an estimate, because real battles vary in rank, MVP and morale.

A standard ship needs 3,115,000 XP on CN and 3,235,675 XP on EN and JP from Lv.1. An Ultra Rare or Decisive ship needs 3,779,000 XP.

3,425,000 XP for a standard ship and 4,110,000 XP for a UR or DR ship. You also need Cognitive Awakenings and an Awakening+.

No. Common, Rare, Elite and Super Rare ships share the standard table. Only Ultra Rare and Decisive ships need more.

The wiki shows the EN/JP table asks for more XP per level from Lv.70 to 99. For example, Lv.80 to 81 costs 17,250 on EN/JP and 15,000 on CN.

Each is listed as a multiplier, 1.5x and 2x. This tool multiplies them to 3x for a flagship that is also MVP. The wiki does not state the stacking rule, so treat 3x as an estimate.

Yes. The wiki says it doubles the rewards of a fight, including XP, while doubling the oil and morale cost.

It is stored as surplus experience, up to 3 million XP. When the ship awakens, the stored XP levels her toward the next cap.

No. The wiki notes Operational Handover uses no ships, so ships gain no experience or affinity.

No. Commander XP uses a separate table and runs to Lv.200. This calculator covers ship XP only.

No. The tool runs in your browser. The Save button keeps a result only in this browser on this device.
