Carve Wood Wiki Carve Wood Income Calculator

The Carve Wood income calculator projects your cash-per-hour for any combination of axe, worker count, and biome. It includes offline growth so you can plan return trips and rank builds against each other.

How the calculator works

The base cash-per-chop for each axe comes from the in-game HUD. We re-verify the numbers after every Roblox patch on the Update log page. The formulas are:

• Cash per chop = axe-yield-multiplier × base-log-value (12 cash for a Common log, 18 for Rare, 25 for Epic, 35 for Legendary).
• Cash per hour = chops-per-hour × cash-per-chop × worker-multiplier.
• Offline cash per hour = active-cash-per-hour × 0.08 (8% offline rate).

Worker-multiplier scales with your worker roster: 1.0x with one worker, 1.4x with two, 1.8x with three, 2.2x with four, 2.6x with all five. The exact numbers shift with patches — re-check the How to hire workers page after every update.

Reference inputs

Use these as starting points if you do not know your exact chops-per-hour:

Axe	Approx cash/chop	Notes
Common Oak Hatchet	17	Best starter
Rare Pine Pick	27	First biome-two axe
Rare Maple Maul	38	A-tier workhorse
Epic Birchblade Pro	50	Budget Legendary
Epic Cedar Slasher	47	Niche pick
Legendary Ironwood Cleaver	65	End-game meta

Worked example

If you run the Rare Maple Maul (38 cash/chop) at 200 chops/hour with two workers (1.4x multiplier), your active cash-per-hour is 200 × 38 × 1.4 = 10,640 cash/hour. Your offline cash-per-hour is roughly 851 cash/hour.

Over a real day of two-hour active play plus offline growth, you earn 2 × 10,640 + 22 × 851 = 39,000 cash. That is enough to clear the biome two unlock fee (15,000) and still have surplus for the next worker upgrade.

Pair with the build guides

The calculator returns numbers — the Best player builds page tells you which numbers to chase. The speed-run build optimises the active rate; the idle build optimises the offline rate; the whale build optimises both.

For the XP side of the equation (which matters when you are chasing the next axe tier), see the XP calculator.

When to trust the calculator

• The numbers assume you stack the customer bonus. Without the bonus, your actual cash-per-hour is roughly 30% lower.
• The numbers assume you have the right worker in the right plot. See How to hire workers for placement rules.
• The numbers assume the current Roblox patch. After every update, re-verify on the Update log page.
