Compare calculators
Both calculators run independently — change the inputs on either side to compare results.
Gaming
Critical Hit Calculator
Calculate the average damage output of an attack given base damage, critical hit chance, and critical hit multiplier — the expected-value formula every theorycrafter uses to compare crit-heavy builds against flat damage builds. Use it to decide whether to stack crit chance, crit damage, or raw damage stats on your gear.

Gaming
DPS Calculator
Calculate damage per second (DPS) by multiplying single-hit damage by attacks per second — the standard metric for comparing weapons, builds, and characters in any action RPG, MMO, or shooter. Use it to choose between two weapons, optimize gear stat allocations, or rank class builds by sustained damage output.
