OSRS Woodcutting Calculator
Enter your current and target Woodcutting level to see exactly how much XP you need and the best practical ways to train it at your level — with resources, time and live cost.
Woodcutting is the archetypal AFK skill: the XP is slow but the attention cost is low, and several trees produce logs that sell for a reliable profit. This calculator converts a target Woodcutting level into logs cut, a realistic time estimate and the gp you earn along the way.

How the Woodcutting calculator works
Rates assume continuous chopping with a sensible axe for your level and are conservative — faster, higher-effort methods and a better axe will beat them. Log prices move on the Grand Exchange, so treat gp as a planning figure.

- Going for a relaxed 99? Set redwoods in the high 90s to see how long the AFK grind runs and how much gp it returns on the way.
- Weighing XP against money? Compare a fast-XP tree with a profit tree over the same level range to pick the method that matches your goal.
Woodcutting calculator FAQ
- What's the fastest Woodcutting XP?
- Teak and redwood chopping and the higher-effort 1.5-tick methods are the usual picks depending on how much you want to click. Switch methods in the calculator to compare.
- What's the best Woodcutting money maker?
- Redwood logs are a dependable, AFK-friendly earner in the high 90s — see the redwood logs money maker for gp/hr and requirements.
- Does my axe matter?
- Yes — a better axe cuts faster, so it lifts both XP and gp per hour. The calculator's conservative rates assume a reasonable axe for your level.
