How to Calculate an Experience Modifier

In role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons or one of the many role-playing video games, experience modifiers are attributes that affect the rate at which your character gains experience. These modifiers usually show up as either a percentage or a multiplier. Calculating the total experience gained requires multiplying the base experience by this modifier. The base experience is the normal amount of experience gained by a character for defeating an enemy or completing a task. This information is kept in the game manual or in the on-screen quest information within the video game.

     Enter the base amount of experience earned into the calculator.

     Press the multiply button ("x") and then enter the amount of the experience modifier. For example, if the modifier is "1.5x," enter "1.5." If the modifier is "10%," enter "1.1." The percentage is determined by dividing the amount of the modifier by 100. This number is added to 1 so that the base experience is automatically added to the total when multiplying.
