OSRS Defence Calculator Formula
The OSRS Defence Calculator formula is Damage needed = Defence XP remaining ÷ Defence XP per damage.
Defence XP remaining = XP at target level − current XP
Damage needed = ⌈Defence XP remaining ÷ Defence XP per damage⌉
Hitpoints XP gained = damage needed × 1.33
- Defensive melee gives 4 Defence XP per damage.
- Controlled melee gives 1.33 Defence XP per damage.
- Ranged longrange gives 2 Defence XP per damage.
- Defensive casting gives 1 Defence XP per damage.
