VALORANT Economy Calculator
Enter this round's result and see exactly what you'll have next round — then price a buy with the game's real weapon and shield costs.
Credit awards are Riot's published economy rules; weapon and shield prices are read from the game files. The calculator computes arithmetic, not strategy — see the FAQ for why the loss-bonus curve shapes eco rounds.
Next round you'll have 5,000 credits
1,900 round loss (1st consecutive) + 1 × 200 kills.
That buy costs 4,300 — affordable, leaving 700.
Whether to force or save is a judgement call the calculator deliberately does not make — it depends on your team's credits, not just yours.
The numbers behind the economy
VALORANT's economy is deliberately swingy: winning pays a flat 3,000, while the loss bonus climbs 1,900 → 2,400 → 2,900 across consecutive losses and resets on a win. Kills pay 200 each regardless of round outcome, a spike plant pays 300 to the whole attacking side even in a lost round — which is why late-round “plant for cash” calls are genuinely worth 300 × 5 — and nobody can hold more than 9,000.
Weapon prices range from the free Classic to the 4,700 Operator — every price is on the weapons hub, and what those credits buy in damage terms is on the damage calculator.
Common questions
How much money do you get per round in VALORANT?
3,000 credits for a round win. Losses pay a rising bonus: 1,900 for a first loss, 2,400 for a second in a row, 2,900 for a third or more. Each kill adds 200 and planting the spike adds 300 to every attacker. Credits cap at 9,000.
What does a full buy cost?
A rifle plus heavy shield is 3,900 credits before abilities — a Vandal or Phantom at 2,900 and heavy armour at 1,000. With a typical ability round-out, a comfortable full buy sits around 4,400–4,700.
Why does everyone save after two losses?
The third consecutive loss pays the maximum 2,900 bonus. Two light-buy losses followed by that bonus usually funds a proper full buy, while forcing every round keeps a team permanently under-equipped — that arithmetic, not superstition, is the standard eco pattern.
