Genshin Primogem & Pity Planner

Use this calculator to estimate how many wishes you can save before a banner ends, and whether you can safely reach your target featured character copies.

5 Starglitter = 1 Intertwined Fate (shop)
0 to 36 stars, up to 600 primogems each reset
1 copy = C0, 2 copies = C1, etc.
Assumptions: 1 wish = 160 primogems, Abyss reset every 14 days, and conservative hard-pity planning (up to 90 pulls per 5★).

What this Genshin calculator does

Planning your pulls in Genshin Impact can feel stressful, especially when a must-have character appears right after you spent everything on a previous banner. This genshin calculator helps you make practical, low-risk pull decisions by combining your current resources, future primogem income, and pity status into one clear estimate.

Instead of relying on guesswork, you can answer the key question every player asks: “Can I realistically secure this banner unit?” If your target is C0, C1, or even higher constellations, this tool gives you a conservative pull plan so you know whether to commit or keep saving.

How the calculator works

1) Converts all current resources into wishes

The calculator starts with your available currency:

  • Primogems
  • Genesis Crystals (treated as 1:1 primogem value)
  • Intertwined Fates
  • Masterless Starglitter (optional conversion at 5 per fate)

This gives your current wish count before any future income is considered.

2) Projects future primogem income

The tool then estimates what you can still earn before the banner ends:

  • Daily commissions (60 primogems/day)
  • Welkin Moon bonus (+90 primogems/day, if enabled)
  • Spiral Abyss rewards based on expected stars and number of resets
  • Event primogems (manual estimate)

Because event rewards vary per patch, manually entering event primogems gives you flexibility for your own account progress.

3) Compares total wishes against worst-case pity needs

Finally, the calculator estimates how many wishes are needed in a hard-pity scenario for your target copies. This approach is intentionally conservative so you can avoid painful “almost had enough” outcomes.

  • If your next 5★ is guaranteed featured, first copy can be as high as 90 pulls (minus current pity progress).
  • If not guaranteed, first featured copy can take up to 180 pulls (minus current pity progress on the first 5★ cycle).
  • Each additional featured copy is planned at up to 180 pulls.

Why conservative planning is useful

Many players plan with average luck, then fall short when variance goes against them. Conservative planning solves this by budgeting for bad luck first. If your actual luck is better than expected, that surplus becomes a bonus for future banners or weapon pulls.

This is especially important for free-to-play and low-spend accounts where each patch has limited resources. A conservative model gives better long-term account stability and avoids panic spending.

Step-by-step strategy for better pull decisions

Set your real goal before you pull

Decide clearly whether you want C0 only, a specific constellation breakpoint, or simply to build pity. Enter that target as “featured copies.” Vague goals often lead to over-pulling.

Estimate events honestly

If you usually do most events, use a higher value. If your playtime is limited, use a lower estimate. Being realistic with event primogems makes the result much more accurate.

Use guarantee status correctly

Guarantee status has a major effect on required wishes. If you recently lost a 50/50 on the same character banner type, check “next 5★ is guaranteed featured.” If not, leave it unchecked to avoid underestimating your risk.

Review the “shortfall” result

If the calculator shows a shortfall, you have options:

  • Lower your target copies
  • Skip current banner and save for rerun
  • Delay pulling until late banner once more primogems are earned
  • Plan spending limit in advance, instead of reacting emotionally

Common mistakes this tool helps prevent

  • Ignoring Starglitter value and forgetting “hidden” wishes
  • Overestimating Abyss income when not consistently clearing floors
  • Forgetting to account for current pity progress
  • Assuming every 5★ will be featured without considering 50/50 losses
  • Pulling early instead of waiting for late-banner income

Final thoughts

A good genshin calculator does not guarantee perfect luck, but it does make your decisions cleaner and more confident. With a clear estimate of available pulls and worst-case needs, you can plan banners with less stress and more control.

If you want the safest approach, always plan around the conservative result shown above. If your actual pulls go better than expected, you keep the extra wishes and strengthen your account for upcoming patches.
