Barotrauma Skill Leveling Calculator

Estimate how many actions it takes to reach your target skill level. Uses the confirmed Medical XP formula and estimates for other skills, with talent multiplier support.

Skill Settings

Skill Type

Current Level 10

Your current skill level (1–100).

Target Level 50

The skill level you want to reach.

Talent Bonus

Avg Vitality Healed per Action 30

Default 30 — a standard bandage or medkit application. Larger heals (surgery, advanced kits) give more XP per action.

Medical — Level 10 to 50

Actions Needed

11,307

Rounds (10 actions)

1,131

Levels to Gain

Talent Multiplier

1×

Formula (confirmed): XP gain per action = 2 × 30 / skill^1.5 × 1 talent. As your Medical skill increases the formula yields diminishing returns — each level costs more actions than the last.
