CoC upgrade tracker and planner

This CoC upgrade tracker uses real game-file data. Set your Town Hall and levels, and the planner adds up every remaining cost, schedules your builders and tells you when you will be maxed.

Last updated

Game data: ClashKing Assets (game-file export), updated 31 October 2026. Town Hall 19 is added once its data is in the game files.

Gold includes 3.25B for walls. From around wall level 9 you can pay with Elixir instead, and Wall Rings skip the cost entirely.

3. Boosts, helpers and magic items

Builder Potion: builders work 10× faster for 1 hour (saves 9 hours per busy builder). Research and Pet Potions: 24× for 1 hour. Books finish the longest single upgrade step for you; the planner spends them on the longest steps. Hammers also skip the cost, which this estimate does not subtract.

Builder schedule

Upgrades sorted longest first and handed to whichever builder frees up first. Each bar is one building or hero taken all the way to max. Apprentice time shortens the whole plan by about 6%.

How the planner works

Pick your Town Hall and the planner loads every building, trap, hero, troop, spell, siege machine and pet you can own there, with the right number of copies. "Just upgraded" assumes you maxed the previous Town Hall, so older buildings sit at the old cap and anything new starts at zero. Change any dropdown to match your village and the totals update straight away.

The costs and times come from the game files, not from screenshots or guesswork. We read them from the ClashKing assets export and rebuild the site when it changes. Every level step is added up, so a Cannon at level 18 going to 21 counts levels 19, 20 and 21.

The builder schedule

Builders are the real bottleneck in Clash of Clans. The planner treats each building or hero as one chain of upgrades, because you can't upgrade the same building twice at once, and gives the longest chains out first. This is the same "longest job first" rule used in factory scheduling, and it is close to the best order you can get by hand. That's why the list under the chart tells you which upgrades to start first: a 50-day hero chain started late will hold up your whole Town Hall.

The Builder's Apprentice and Lab Assistant add the number of hours their level gives you each day. A Builder Potion makes every builder ten times faster for an hour, which saves nine hours of work per busy builder. Research and Pet Potions run at 24 times speed for an hour. Gold Pass boosts and Hammer Jam cut both cost and time, and they stack.

What it doesn't include

  • Hero Equipment ore costs. Use the equipment ore calculator for those.
  • Supercharges, the Crafting Station and Clan Capital, which use separate systems.
  • Merging defences (for example Archer Towers into a Multi-Archer Tower). Counts follow the Town Hall unlock list.
  • Upgrades already in progress. Set the building to the level it will reach.

How big is a Town Hall these days?

Taking Town Hall 18 from a maxed Town Hall 17 to fully maxed costs about 5.25B Gold and 1.55B Elixir, and 26.9M Dark Elixir, including walls. The single longest builder chain is the Barbarian King. See every Town Hall side by side on the upgrade times and costs page, or read our upgrade priority guide for what to start first.

FAQ

How long does it take to max Town Hall 18?

From a maxed TH17, the game files add up to about 1,337 builder-days for buildings and traps plus 360 days of hero upgrades, before Gold Pass or Hammer Jam. With several builders working in parallel the real time is far shorter; the planner works it out for your builder count.

What should I upgrade first in Clash of Clans?

The Laboratory, army camps, Clan Castle and heroes, because they make every attack and every later upgrade better. The upgrade priority guide explains the order for each Town Hall.

Where do the costs and times come from?

From ClashKing's export of the Clash of Clans game files, refreshed when the game updates and spot-checked against the Clash of Clans Wiki.

How does it work out the finish date?

It treats each building or hero as a chain of upgrades and gives the longest chains to builders first, then applies your Builder's Apprentice, potions, books, Gold Pass boost and Hammer Jam. The Laboratory and Pet House are scheduled as single queues.

Where is my village saved?

In your browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is sent to us. Use Copy share link to move it to another device or show a clanmate.

Is Town Hall 19 included?

Not yet. Town Hall 19 is added once its data is in the game files.

Does it include walls?

Yes. Set how many walls you have at each level. Walls cost no builder time, so they only affect resources.
