This calculator is arithmetic on a table, not a live mixer. Enter quantities from your own Dig For Eggs session. It will not click the shop.

Upgrade payback

Shovel payback

Estimates how many cycles a shovel or plot upgrade takes to earn back its cash cost. Type the listed cash price yourself. The example cost 3000 is the published Green Shovel price in plain dollars. The example extra income of 100 per cycle is not a measured pet rate.

Upgrade cash costExtra cash you gain per cycleMinutes per cycle

Enter values from your session.

Payback cycles = upgrade cost ÷ extra profit per cycle, rounded up.

3000 matches the published Green Shovel cash price. 100 cash per cycle and 1 minute are form examples only. Grey Shovel has no listed price, so do not put 0 in for it. A second non-cash cost, such as Green's 20, is not part of this cash form.

FAQ

Dig For Eggs calculator questions

What do I do in the first minute?

Follow the plot prompt: click and hold to dig up the egg, which can be a Common padlock. Put eggs on the plot so pets can earn cash, sell loot from the top bar, and equip the best shovel the shop will give you.

Which shovel is the strongest?

The Zero Shovel has the highest published Power, 30x, at a listed price of $200Qa. Until you can pay for it, equip the highest multiplier you already own. The HUD Power number is a separate stat from that multiplier.

Why does digging say it is slow?

The dig screen tells you to train Power or upgrade your shovel. Open the shop for a higher multiplier, or use the Dig Faster control if the next shovel is still too expensive. Standing on the warning does not fill the bar.

Do pets earn cash while I am offline?

Yes. The game description says you keep earning cash while offline, and the HUD prints Cash Earns Offline. Exact cash per pet is not published.
