Rarity calculator

Other versions

An independent-try chance for a published drop rate and an attempt count, with the arithmetic left on the page.

The drop-rate experiment lives at https://rarity-calculator.xms.mom. It turns a published percentage and a number of tries into the chance of seeing that result at least once, assuming each try is independent. Pity counters and shrinking bags are out of scope there. This parent host does not calculate a rate.

What the formula is willing to say

Only the complement of missing every try. If a game removes the prize from the pool or adds pity, that site tells you to treat the number as a baseline, not as a schedule.

Where the presets live

Short sessions, one-percent examples, and the notes on expected waits are pages of that deployment. Follow the subdomain rather than looking for those presets here.

Questions

Can I run the arithmetic on this host?

No. The calculator is the subdomain. This page exists so the parent domain has a public link to it, not a second copy of the form.
