Build and Conquer Construction Budget: Resource Calculator

Does your construction queue fit your resources?

Enter prices from the current build menu. Add money and each other required resource on separate rows. A plan is within budget only when every row can pay for the chosen quantity and preserve the reserve you entered.

Required = cost per building × quantity. Spendable = available − reserve. Shortfall = max(0, required − spendable).

What does the reserve change?

The reserve is the amount you want left after construction. If the remaining balance is lower than the reserve, the difference appears as a shortfall even when you could technically buy the buildings without keeping it.

The worked example needs two buildings. Money fits, but five units of Steel cannot cover a requirement of eight. That makes the overall queue short by three Steel. All example prices are illustrative; replace them with the current game values.

Can you compare different building types?

This calculator uses one quantity and one unit cost per resource. For different building types or changing upgrade prices, calculate each batch separately. Do not use a single average price if it hides a resource requirement.

For the population part of a housing purchase, use the housing planner. For operating inputs and output, use the production worksheet. The money guide helps you choose what to reserve.

Where does the downloaded plan go?
