Pet XP Time Calculator

In Grow A Garden, pets gain age by accumulating XP while maintaining hunger. The XP needed to reach each new age follows a formula—specifically: floor(20 x n2.02), where “n” is the target age. This makes higher ages increasingly expensive to reach.

At higher ages (50+), leveling slows significantly—even pets like Starfish or Brown Mouse can take days per level unless you use XP boosts.

This Pet XP Time Calculator uses that formula to:

• Compute total XP needed from current age to target age.
• Estimate leveling time based on XP gain rate and modifiers.
• Factor in mutation multipliers, helper-pet boosts, and toys.

Pet mutations unlock at age 50 and higher, making leveling a key investment. This calculator helps by letting you:

• Track time to reach specific ages like 50 or beyond.
• Optimize pet leveling using XP-boosting friends like Night Owl, Blood Owl, or Capybara.
• Plan efficient use of pet toys, treats, and helpers.
• Balance farming and pet progression—level pets while you farm.

Use it alongside the Pet Ability & Mutation Calculator to understand how aged pets gain more power or unlock new traits.

1. Choose the pet species (e.g., Starfish, Brown Mouse, Custom).
2. Input the pet’s current age.
3. Set your target age (commonly 50 for mutations).
4. Select optional XP modifiers: mutations (Shiny, etc.), helper pets, toys/treats.
5. Enter your estimated XP gain per second or per action.
6. Receive a time estimate to reach the target age.
