Albion Online refining profit calculator

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) gives back a portion of the materials you put in — higher in your bonus city, higher again with premium, and stacked further by hideout power + BZ rings in the Black Zone. The calculator treats that return as a discount on your material cost, which is what makes high-volume refining profitable even on thin margins.

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.

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.
