This calculator is arithmetic on a table, not a live mixer. Enter quantities from your own Army Commander Tycoon session. It will not click the shop.
Upgrade payback
Cash upgrade payback
Estimate how many cycles a cash upgrade needs before the extra cash covers its price. Type the price printed on the button you are about to buy and the extra cash you actually see each cycle after buying it. The defaults are a worked example so the form has numbers. They are not Army Commander Tycoon prices. Do not use this for Robux passes, and do not paste the spoken 5,000 to 8,000 cash from one recorded session in as a rate.
Payback cycles = upgrade cost ÷ extra profit per cycle, rounded up.
Replace every default with numbers from your own screen. upgradeCost is the cash price on the button. extraProfitPerCycle is the extra cash you watch arrive in one cycle after the purchase, compared with the cycle before it. cycleMinutes is how long that cycle takes. The result is only as good as those three inputs. No official income formula is published.
