The Dota 2 GPM & XPM Calculator Tool

The GPM & XPM Calculator Tool tells you if your gold and experience per minute are actually good. Pick your hero, type the GPM and XPM from the scoreboard, and see how many games of that hero you beat, based on OpenDota’s benchmarks for every hero. Axe typed 200. The calculator was quiet for a long time.

Pick your hero. A good GPM on a support is a bad one on a carry, so every hero has its own numbers.
Type your GPM and XPM from the end-of-game scoreboard, or drag the sliders.
Read the verdict: the share of games you beat, your tier, and the gold and level you have at 10 to 50 minutes if you keep that pace.

What is a good GPM in Dota 2?

There is no single good number: roles farm very differently. Across all heroes in OpenDota’s benchmarks, the typical core makes about 561 GPM and the typical support about 350 GPM (median game of each hero, Valve’s role labels). These heroes have the highest and lowest median GPM:

Supports on the low list: do not be sad. Your GPM is low because you bought the wards. Axe respects the wards. Axe never buys them.

Dota 2 XP table: experience needed for every level

Heroes go from level 1 to 30. There is no formula behind it, every level has its own number. The XPM column shows the average XPM you need to hit that level at 20 or 30 minutes.

How to get more GPM in Dota 2

Stack camps. A stacked camp gives several camps of gold at once. The Stack Timer tells you the second to pull.
Take the Bounty Runes. One Bounty Rune gives 40 gold at the start and 6 more for every five minutes of game time, to everyone in your team. The Rune Timer knows when they come.
Do not die. Every death costs you gold: your net worth divided by 40. At 20,000 net worth that is 500 gold, plus the farm you miss while you wait.
Hand of Midas (2,200 gold). Valve’s tooltip: “Kills a non-hero target for 160 gold. Killing a neutral creep additionally grants a madstone bundle. Cannot be used on Ancient creeps.” Some heroes buy it early just for the extra gold.
Farm what gets you items. A fast first big item speeds up everything after it. The Item Timing Calculator shows the minute your build is done at your GPM.
