Clash of Clans upgrade times and costs
Clash of Clans upgrade times and costs for every Town Hall from 10 to 18, plus the full level list for any building, hero, troop or spell, with Hammer Jam prices one tap away.
Cost and time to max each Town Hall
These totals assume you start a Town Hall with everything maxed for the level below, then take every building, wall, hero, troop, spell and pet to the new cap. Builder time is the sum of every builder upgrade; divide it by your number of builders for a rough calendar time, or use the upgrade planner for a proper schedule of your own village.
| Town Hall |  Gold |  Elixir |  Dark Elixir | Buildings (builder time) | Heroes | Laboratory | Pets | New at this TH |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TH10 | 258.7M | 90M | 1.36M | 118d 7h | 57d 10h | 66d 12h | — | Inferno Tower |

| TH13 | 975M | 369.7M | 5.64M | 304d 22h | 165d 16h | 167d | — | Scattershot, Royal Champion |
| TH14 | 1.53B | 405.7M | 9.87M | 334d 6h | 185d | 165d 12h | 130d | Pet House, L.A.S.S.I, Mighty Yak, Electro Owl, Unicorn |
| TH15 | 1.84B | 578.9M | 15.1M | 462d | 204d 18h | 274d 12h | 206d | Spell Tower, Monolith, Dragon Duke, Battle Drill, Phoenix, Poison Lizard |
| TH16 | 2.33B | 747.1M | 15.5M | 513d | 236d | 357d 8h | 148d 12h | Multi-Archer Tower, Ricochet Cannon, Spirit Fox, Angry Jelly |
| TH17 | 3.65B | 791M | 20.6M | 725d 3h | 278d | 396d | 187d | Multi-Gear Tower, Firespitter, Giga Bomb, Sneezy |
| TH18 | 5.25B | 1.55B | 26.9M | 1336d 22h | 360d | 751d 18h | 110d 12h | Revenge Tower, Super Wizard Tower, Greedy Raven |
Gold includes walls, which are the biggest single Gold cost at high Town Halls (TH18 has 325 wall pieces). Builder and hero time are totals across all copies, not calendar time.
Reading the numbers
Two things jump out. First, builder time grows much faster than Laboratory time: at Town Hall 18 the buildings alone add up to 1336d 22h of work, while research is 751d 18h. With five or six builders, the Laboratory is rarely what holds you back early on. It catches up at the end, because it can only do one thing at a time.
Second, heroes are long single chains. The Barbarian King alone needs 80d of builder time at TH18, and nothing can speed that up except potions, books and boosts. That is why most experienced players keep heroes upgrading non-stop. During Hammer Jam (1 to 15 November 2026 this year), every number on this page is halved, and an upgrade started on the last day keeps its shorter timer.
Every level of every building
Pick anything to see each level's cost, time, Town Hall requirement and running totals.
| Level | Town Hall | Cost | Time | Running cost | Running time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TH11 | 5,000,000 | 4d | 5,000,000 | 4d |
| 2 | TH11 | 6,000,000 | 5d | 11,000,000 | 9d |
| 3 | TH12 | 9,000,000 | 7d | 20,000,000 | 16d |
| 4 | TH13 | 10,000,000 | 7d 12h | 30,000,000 | 23d 12h |
| 5 | TH14 | 12,000,000 | 8d | 42,000,000 | 31d 12h |
| 6 | TH15 | 13,000,000 | 9d | 55,000,000 | 40d 12h |
| 7 | TH16 | 14,000,000 | 9d 12h | 69,000,000 | 50d |
Cost and time are what it takes to reach that level. Level 1 of a troop, spell or hero is the unlock, so it shows no cost here.

FAQ
How much does it cost to max Town Hall 18?
From a maxed TH17, about 5.25 billion Gold (mostly walls), 1.55 billion Elixir and 26.9 million Dark Elixir, across buildings, heroes, the Laboratory and pets.
What is the longest upgrade at Town Hall 18?
Barbarian King, at 80 days of upgrade time to max from TH17 levels.
How long does it take to max Town Hall 18?
From a maxed TH17, the buildings alone add up to well over three years of single-builder time, before heroes, which is why spreading it across five or six builders and using boosts matters. The table on this page shows the exact totals.
Do Hammer Jam discounts show here?
The tables list normal prices. Tick the Hammer Jam box in the level explorer to see every cost and time halved.
Why do some troops show under 1h?
The game-file export leaves out times under one hour for some low-level research, so we show them as under 1h rather than guess.
