Understanding Combat Level in OSRS
Your combat level is a single number that summarises your offensive and defensive capability in Old School RuneScape. It is useful for matchmaking in PvP and for gauging how dangerous a player might be in the Wilderness. This calculator implements the standard OSRS formula and shows how your Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic, Hitpoints and Prayer combine into a single combat level.
What affects your combat level?
- Base stats: Defence, Hitpoints and half of your Prayer contribute to the base level.
- Melee: Attack + Strength contribute together and are compared to Ranged and Magic.
- Ranged & Magic: These are scaled differently but only the highest of Melee, Ranged or Magic is added to the base.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your current visible stats (what shows on your account).
- Include boosts if you want to simulate temporary effects (potions, prayers).
- Use the result to compare against boss or Wilderness level requirements, or to prepare for PvP.
