Use the calculator above to include your return rate, focus, station fee and taxes; missing prices leave the calculation incomplete.

How refining profit works in Albion Online

Refining turns raw resources — ore, hide, fibre, wood and stone — into refined materials: bars, leather, cloth, planks and blocks. Each refined unit needs a lower-tier refined input plus raw of the same tier, so profit depends on three live prices at once: the raw, the lower refined and the output.

Albion's Resource Return Rate (RRR) returns part of the materials you put in. The calculator uses your selected city's bonuses and return-rate settings to work out how much material the run needs, then compares the resulting cost with sale revenue.

Because focus raises the return rate further, the tool reports profit per focus point alongside profit per unit, so you can rank what to refine by the resource you actually run out of.

How to compare refining cities

  1. Select Europe, Americas or Asia in the page header. Each world has a separate market.
  2. Choose the resource family, tier, enchantment and quantity. Set the city where you will refine and your station fee.
  3. Check both required inputs in the shopping list. Compare the observation times and choose purchase cities or enter prices you have checked in game.
  4. Compare sale cities and the runs with and without focus. A margin is an estimate; allow for transport, unsold stock and changes in market orders.

If an input or sale price is unavailable, the tool shows an incomplete calculation. Refresh the market data or supply your own checked price before saving an order.

Faction discount recipe

From T4 onwards, every refining family has an alternative recipe that trades 1 raw resource for 1 T1 faction token. Tokens don't refund through RRR, so they hit cost as a flat per-craft line item — useful when raws are scarce or expensive at your refining city and tokens are floating cheap.

The variant toggle in the calculator swaps the math instantly: you'll see the token row appear in the shopping list, the raw qty drop by 1 per craft, and the cost ladder rebalance.

FAQ

Is the refining calculator free?

Yes. The calculator and live prices are free and need no account. Saved orders persist in your browser. Signing in adds saved presets that follow you across devices and lets you apply your character's real refining mastery.

Where do the prices come from?

From the Albion Online Data Project (AODP). Players running its client contribute orders when they browse a market in game. Prices can be missing or old; there is no guaranteed update interval for an item. AlbionCore caches observations and shows their age. You can enter a price you have checked yourself.

Does it account for focus and the bonus city?

Yes — return rate is modelled with focus and bonus-city stacking (and hideout power + BZ rings inside the Black Zone). Every result is shown both per unit and per focus point.
