XP per action and resource counts are exact. XP/hr and time are conservative experienced-player estimates that vary with gear, efficiency and setup. Cost uses live Grand Exchange prices where an item is consumed per action; other gp figures are estimates.

How the Firemaking calculator works
Each method uses the exact per-action XP where the game defines one, so resource counts are precise. XP/hr and time are conservative experienced-player estimates that vary with gear and efficiency. Where a method consumes a buyable item, cost uses the live Grand Exchange price.
