Valheim Skill Loss on Death Calculator
Every death costs you 5% of each skill level. Because XP scales exponentially, losing 5% at level 80 is far more painful than losing 5% at level 40. Enter your skills to see the true cost.

Death Penalty Rules
- 5% of each skill level is lost on death — rounded down.
- Because XP scales as ~(level)^1.5, higher skill levels cost far more XP to regain per level.
- No Skill Drain buff: recover your corpse within 10 real-time minutes to avoid all skill loss.
- Server world modifier deathskillsreset can change or disable skill loss.
- Rested bonus adds +50% XP from all actions, speeding up recovery significantly.
