LootCalc

Your assumptions, visible math, no hidden rate table

EFT Loot Spawn Calculator

Turn a target-find assumption, a conditional extraction assumption, and a complete raid-cycle measurement into cumulative probability, expected time, and a narrowly defined target contribution. Every numeric game input remains visible and editable.

Build a raid scenario

Enter a find chance that matches your own current source or observations, then enter the conditional chance that you extract after finding the target. The starting numbers are what-if examples—not Tarkov spawn data, boss rates, container tables, or a promise about any map.

A note for comparison and the shared URL; it never loads hidden rates.

Use the same success definition when comparing two routes.

Replace the 10% example with a rate you can trace to the exact item or event, route, mode, and date.

This is conditional on finding the target. Replace the 50% example with your own supported estimate.

A whole-number horizon for cumulative probability.

Expected raids and time scale by this count.

Include queue, loading, raid time, extraction or failure, healing, stash work, and re-queue time.

Optional current value entered by you; the calculator does not fetch market prices.

A cost you choose to assign to every cycle. It is not estimated from your kit or survival state.

The contribution figures include only this tracked outcome and the direct cost you entered. They exclude all other loot, quest value, insurance returns, secure-container outcomes, taxes, gear recovery, and price changes. They are not total raid EV or a profit guarantee.

What the official material supports

The publisher-provided Steam listing describes raids as high-risk runs where extraction determines whether the player keeps the loot. That supports treating “found” and “extracted” as different scenario outcomes. It does not provide this site with a reusable probability table for a boss, loose item, container, key, room, map, route, or case return.

Define the event before entering a probability

“Saw the item,” “put it in inventory,” and “successfully extracted it” are different events. This tool asks for P(find) and P(extract | find). Under the scenario you entered, their product isP(find and extract). The same target definition, raid eligibility rule, and observation window must be used for both inputs.

Probability and time formulas

If the combined extracted-target chance per eligible raid is p, the chance of at least one extracted target within n independent raids is 1 - (1-p)^n. Expected raids for one are 1/p; expected raids for k targets are k/p. Expected time multiplies that result by your measured full-cycle minutes. These are model outputs, not a guarantee about the next raid.

Use a full cycle, not time spent at one loot spot

Start timing before queueing and stop when the next comparable raid can begin. Include matching, loading, route time, combat or avoidance, extraction or death, healing, stash work, and re-queueing. A faster room check can still be a slower repeatable cycle when setup and recovery are omitted.

Why the value result is deliberately narrow

Target gross contribution is the extracted-target chance multiplied by the value you entered. The tool then subtracts the same direct cost from every raid. It does not price the rest of the route, estimate the value of experience or tasks, infer kit-loss probability, or fetch a live market. Use it only to compare the stated target under consistent assumptions. The related evidence-first EFT route guide provides a blank observation schema.

FAQ

Does a route or item label load a Tarkov spawn rate?

No. Both fields are labels for your saved scenario. LootCalc does not contain hidden map, boss, key, container, item, or scav-case probability presets.

Why are find chance and extraction chance separate?

The second input is conditional on already finding the item or event. Multiplying the two produces the probability that one eligible raid both succeeds and extracts under your assumptions.

Is the tracked-item contribution the profit for a whole raid?

No. It includes only the chosen item value minus the direct per-raid cost you entered. Other loot, losses, insurance, taxes, secure-container outcomes, and changing prices are outside the result.

Are expected raids or threshold raids a guarantee?

No. Expected raids are a mean under an independent-trial scenario. Even the 90% threshold leaves a 10% chance of not extracting the target within that many eligible raids.
