Gold per minute is the gold you earned divided by the game time in minutes. 15,000 gold over a 30-minute match is 500 GPM, or 30,000 gold per hour. Enter seconds too: 12,345 gold at 25:30 is 12,345 ÷ 25.5 = 484.1 GPM. Add a gold goal to see how many more minutes that pace needs.
GPM is the number MOBA players, MMO farmers and idle-game grinders use to compare one session with another. Scoreboards in Dota 2 show it live, but replays, other games and your own farming routes often only give a total and a clock. This calculator takes the gold earned and the elapsed time in minutes and seconds, then reports gold per minute, per hour and per second, a table of what the same pace yields at minutes 10 through 60, and, if you enter a target, the extra minutes to reach it. It assumes a constant rate; real income usually rises as a match goes on, so projections for late game read low early on and high after a fight-heavy lull.
Use total gold gained in the period, not the gold currently in your inventory.
Type whole minutes and, optionally, the leftover seconds from the match clock.
The tool then shows how many more minutes your current pace needs to reach it.
It lists the gold that the same rate gives at minutes 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60.
Result Gold per minute (GPM): 500
Gold per hour: 30,000
Gold per second: 8.33
Game time used: 30 min
More minutes to reach goal: No goal set
A typical core end-of-game net income; 500 GPM is a solid carry pace in Dota 2.
Result Gold per minute (GPM): 484.1
Gold per hour: 29,047
Gold per second: 8.07
Game time used: 25.5 min
More minutes to reach goal: No goal set
Seconds count as a fraction of a minute, so 25:30 is 25.5 minutes.
Result Gold per minute (GPM): 500
Gold per hour: 30,000
Gold per second: 8.33
Game time used: 30 min
More minutes to reach goal: 10 min
5,000 more gold at 500 GPM takes another 10 minutes of the same farm.
GPM = G ÷ (m + s ÷ 60); minutes to goal = (target − G) ÷ GPM
GmstargetSeconds are converted to a fraction of a minute before dividing, so 25:30 becomes 25.5 minutes. Gold per hour multiplies GPM by 60, and gold per second divides it by 60. The goal estimate divides the remaining gold by the current rate, which assumes your income holds steady from here.
It depends on role and patch. Hard carries in public matches often land between 500 and 700 GPM, while supports commonly sit at 250 to 350. Professional carries can exceed 800 in a dominant game. Compare against players in the same position rather than the whole lobby.
Scoreboards may include or exclude passive income, starting gold or gold lost on death, depending on the game. If you take the total from a different screen than the one the game uses for its own GPM, the two figures will not match exactly.
In Dota 2 the GPM stat tracks gold earned, so a death that costs gold does not reduce it. If your total comes from net worth or current gold instead, deaths and purchases will skew the result.
Yes. Any game currency works: enter what a farming route produced and how long it took. The per-hour figure is usually the easier number to compare routes in MMOs, since sessions run long.
The tool subtracts the gold you already have from the goal and divides the remainder by your current GPM. With 15,000 gold at 500 GPM and a 20,000 goal, the remaining 5,000 takes 10 more minutes.
Match clocks read minutes and seconds, and 25:30 is 25.5 minutes, not 25.3. Keeping seconds in their own box avoids that conversion error, which matters most in short games.
