| Profit per Hour (GP) | – |
What is {primary_keyword}?
{primary_keyword} is a specialized calculation used by Old School RuneScape players to estimate the profit per hour when using the Zulrah Magic Imbue (ZMI) method. It helps you understand how much gold you can earn by optimizing kill times with the magic boost.
This tool is ideal for players who regularly kill Zulrah and want to maximize their gold income. Common misconceptions include assuming the boost is constant or that cooldowns do not affect overall profit.
{primary_keyword} Formula and Mathematical Explanation
The core formula adjusts the base kill time by the proportion of time the ZMI boost is active.
Effective Kill Time = Base Kill Time × (1 – Boost Factor × (ZMI Duration ÷ (ZMI Duration + ZMI Cooldown)))
From this, we derive:
- Kills per Hour = 3600 ÷ Effective Kill Time
- Profit per Hour = Kills per Hour × Average GP per Kill
- ZMI Uptime (%) = (ZMI Duration ÷ (ZMI Duration + ZMI Cooldown)) × 100
| Variable | Meaning | Unit | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base Kill Time | Standard time to kill Zulrah | seconds | 20‑40 |
| Average GP per Kill | Gold earned per kill | gp | 10,000‑30,000 |
| ZMI Duration | Length of Magic Imbue effect | seconds | 20‑40 |
| ZMI Cooldown | Time before next ZMI can be cast | seconds | 90‑150 |
| Boost Factor | Percentage reduction in kill time | percent | 5‑15 |
Practical Examples (Real-World Use Cases)
Example 1
Base Kill Time: 30 s, GP per Kill: 15,000, ZMI Duration: 30 s, Cooldown: 120 s, Boost: 10 %.
Effective Kill Time ≈ 27 s, Kills per Hour ≈ 133, Profit per Hour ≈ 2,000,000 gp.
Example 2
Base Kill Time: 25 s, GP per Kill: 20,000, ZMI Duration: 35 s, Cooldown: 100 s, Boost: 12 %.
Effective Kill Time ≈ 22 s, Kills per Hour ≈ 163, Profit per Hour ≈ 3,260,000 gp.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Can I use this calculator for non‑magic kill methods?
- The formula is specific to ZMI; other methods require different adjustments.
- What if my kill time varies?
- Enter an average value; the calculator provides an estimate based on that average.
- Does the calculator consider prayer or gear bonuses?
- No, it focuses solely on the ZMI boost. Add those effects manually to the profit per kill.
- Is the boost factor always accurate?
- Boost factor is an estimate; actual reduction may differ based on personal performance.
- How often should I recalculate?
- Whenever you notice a change in kill speed or profit, update the inputs.
- Can I use this on mobile?
- Yes, the layout is fully responsive and works on all devices.
- What if I get a negative result?
- Check your inputs for unrealistic values; negative profit indicates a loss.
- Is there a limit to ZMI duration?
- In OSRS, ZMI lasts a fixed time; adjust the input accordingly.
