Industry cost calculator

About

What does this cost to build? Every input after Material Efficiency and structure bonuses, plus an estimated job installation cost broken into its terms.

Blueprint

Mine it yourself inputs

Selected ores default to none. Choose named raw ores here, or explicitly choose Explore all eligible ores. Ore availability is never inferred from location.

Mining rate is optional. Without it, time and ISK per hour stay unknown. Extra build-route costs exclude shared mining, hauling, ship and blueprint costs.

Structure rigs and job taxes are owner-set and unreadable from ESI, so set them to match the structure you actually use. An NPC station has no rig slots and charges 0.25%.

Caveats

  • CCP has never published a job cost or Estimated Item Value formula. The installation cost below is an estimate built from the Viridian expansion notes and community reverse engineering, not an official figure.
  • ESI reports the system cost index rounded to four decimal places while the server uses full precision, so the installation cost is approximate by construction.
  • No ESI route exposes a player structure's fitted rigs or its industry tax rate, so the structure, rig and tax above are whatever you selected. This page does not know how any real structure is configured.
  • Single level only. A material that is itself manufacturable is priced at the market here, not built. Component build trees are not part of this page.
  • The Estimated Item Value uses ME-0 base quantities and CCP adjusted prices. It is deliberately not reduced by Material Efficiency, the structure role bonus or a rig.
  • Invention, reactions, copying and research are out of scope. Manufacturing time is the SDE base time per run, before skill or facility time bonuses.
