The Dragon Earning Rates page has tables of the earning rate per minute each dragon earns without boosts. Use this page to apply your Boost Calculations to.
The Boosted Dragon Earning Rates page has tables of the earning rate per minute each dragon earns with max boosts and how many generators are need to achieve each rounding range.
Calculating Earnings Summary[]
|
The boosted earning rate can be calculated using the below equation: Boosted Income = Base Income x (1 + (0.3 x number of boosts + 0.02 x number of affiliated Weather Generators)) If there is a decimal in your product, the boosted income is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

Calculating Earnings With Positive Element Boosts[]
|
Boosts each provide an increase of 30% to the earning rates of dragons of the same element that are housed on the island that the boost is placed on. Depending on the boost and dragon placement, a dragon's earnings rates can be affected in a positive way. As of June 15, 2023, generators also provide a boost to its affiliated element: Primary Element Generators
Epic Element Generators
To calculate the earning rate of a dragon, the player will need to determine how many boosts are affecting that dragon. Then, the player will need to add that amount from his/her dragons' earnings. The effects of one positive boost on a dragon with a base earning rate of 100 would be calculated as: 100 + (100*30%) = 130
If a dragon's base earning rate is 100, and was then affected by two positive boosts, the calculation would be: 100 + 2*(100*30%) = 160
If a dragon's base earning rate is 100, and was then affected by three positive boosts, the calculation would be: 100 + 3*(100*30%) = 190
If a dragon's base earning rate is 100, and was then affected by four positive boosts, the calculation would be: 100 + 4*(100*30%) = 220
The generic formula to follow is: The player simply needs to place the appropriate number of positive boosts into the formula for their given situation. Boosted Income = (Base Income x (1 + (0.3 * Number of boosts + 0.02 * Number of Weather Generators))
If there is a decimal in your final product, round it up the next whole number.

Rounding Ranges[]
In June 2024, Drow and clsForCoding discovered how a dragon’s actual DragonCash earning rates are determined. The DragonCash rates are rounded before and after the boosts calculation, resulting in a more generous rate than previously assumed.
Use the following table to find a dragon’s actual DragonCash earning rate if no boosts are applied. Since the discrepancy between the in-game base rate and the actual rate isn’t significant until the base amount is ~462 DragonCash/minute, this is where the table starts.
(If boosts or generators are used, this table can be slightly off because boost percentages are added together, applied against the number of cycles per 1 DragonCash, and rounded down twice, resulting in a higher income threshold. Please use the DV Sandbox’s Income page to calculate the actual rate with boosts and generators.)
| Range of Displayed Rates | Rounded To |
|---|---|
| 462-500 | 500 |
| 501-545 | 545 |
| 546-600 | 600 |
| 601-666 | 666 |
| 667-750 | 750 |
| 751-857 | 857 |
| 858-1000 | 1,000 |
| 1001-1,200 | 1,200 |
| 1,201-1,500 | 1,500 |
| 1,501-2,000 | 2,000 |
| 2,001-3,000 | 3,000 |
| 3,001-6,000* | 6,000* |
| 6,001 And Higher* | 0* |
- The only way to reach 3,000 DragonCash/minute and receive the whopping amount of 6,000 DragonCash is by using Weather Generators. Guava discovered that a Tien Dragon at level 20 with all four primary boosts plus 42 Leaves Generators will increase its DragonCash rate to 3,016 DragonCash/minute on its profile card. But the Tien Dragon will actually earn a titanic 6,000 DragonCash.
- The only way to reach 6,001 DragonCash/minute is by using Weather Generators. Guava discovered that a Nacre Dragon at level 20 with all four primary boosts plus 193 Rain Generators will increase its DragonCash rate to 6,012 DragonCash/minute on its profile card. But the Nacre Dragon will actually earn 0 DragonCash.
The game may not be able to process earning rates over 6,000 DragonCash per minute.

Previous Boost Calculating Method[]

Boosts each provide an increase of 20% to the earning rates of dragons of the same element, and a decrease of 20% to the earning rates of dragons of the opposite element, that are housed on the island that the Element Boost is placed on. Depending on Boost and dragon placement, a dragon's earnings can be affected in both positive and negative ways. Boosts do not affect Gemstone Dragons. To calculate the earning rate of a dragon, the player will need to determine how many Element Boosts are affecting that dragon, and whether the boosts are positively or negatively affecting the dragon. Then, the player will need to add or subtract that amount from your dragons' earnings. The effects of one positive OR one negative boost would be calculated as: 100 + (100*20%) = 120 100 - (100*20%) = 80 It is important to note that the effects of Boosts are cumulative, meaning that the percentages are calculated in succession. If a dragon's base earning rate is 100, and was then affected by two positive boosts, the calculation would be: 100 + (100*20%) = 120 ---> 120 + (120*20%) = 144 Another important fact is that it doesn't matter if the positive Boosts are calculated first and then the negative Boosts are calculated from that total or vice versa. What matters is that one positive Boost does NOT simply cancel out one negative Boost. We will use the previous example again to illustrate calculating two positive Boosts and one negative Boost: 100 + (100*20%) = 120 ---> 120 + (120*20%) = 144 ---> 144 - (144*20%) = 115.2 (round to 115)
100 + (100*20%) = 120 ---> 120 + (120*20%) = 144 --->. 144 - (144*20%) = 115.2 ---> 115.2 - (115.2*20%) = 92.16 (round to 92)
Dragon's base earning rate + positive Boost #1 + (positive Boost #1*positive Boost #2) - negative Boost #1*(positive Boost #1*positive Boost #2) - negative Boost #2*(negative Boost #1*positive Boost #1*positive Boost #2) = actual earning rate The player simply needs to place the appropriate number of positive and negative boosts into the formula for their given situation. (gpm x 1.2y) x 0.8z gpm = dragoncash per minute with no boosts y = number of positive boosts z = number of negative boosts
