Mahogany Homes Construction Calculator (OSRS) – How It Works

Use this OSRS Mahogany Homes Calculator to estimate the Construction XP, contracts, plank cost, GP per XP, training time, and Carpenter points needed for your next Mahogany Homes training plan.

Mahogany Homes is a Construction minigame in Old School RuneScape where players complete contracts in NPC homes across Falador, Hosidius, Varrock, and East Ardougne. It is usually slower than traditional POH training, but it can be much cheaper and gives Carpenter points for useful rewards.

The calculator lets you plan by level or by exact XP, choose automatic or manual contract tiers, enter your own plank prices, and review the estimated materials before you start training.

How to Use This OSRS Mahogany Homes Calculator

Choose your input method: Enter either your current and target Construction levels, or use the XP tab to input specific XP values for more precise calculations.
Select your contract strategy: Let the calculator automatically use the highest tier you can access, or manually choose which contract tiers you want to include in your training plan.
Enter plank prices: Input current Grand Exchange prices for each plank type, or click "Use Example Prices" if you only need a rough estimate.
Select training options: Tick the Carpenter's outfit if you will use the full set for the 2.5% XP boost. The Crystal saw option is only a reminder because it does not directly increase Mahogany Homes XP.
Set contracts per hour: Adjust the number based on your own pace, teleports, and whether you use NPC Contact.
Click Calculate: Review the estimated contracts, plank requirements, plank cost, Carpenter points, and recommended training path.

Tips for Fast and Efficient Mahogany Homes Training

Teleport planning: Set up teleports to all four Mahogany Homes locations (Falador, Hosidius, Varrock, Ardougne) in your POH portal nexus or use the appropriate teleport items for quick travel.
Stock up on planks: Buy enough planks before starting your training session. The Plank sack can carry extra planks and reduce bank trips.
Get the Carpenter's outfit early: The full set gives a 2.5% Construction XP boost, so it becomes more useful the longer you train.
Use the Crystal saw correctly: The Crystal saw can help with some furniture level requirements, but it does not unlock higher contract tiers or add extra XP to contracts.
Optimise your inventory: Bring a hammer, saw, steel bars, and the plank type needed for your contract tier. Use the remaining inventory spaces for teleports.
Learn the house layouts: Familiarise yourself with common furniture locations in each NPC's house to complete contracts faster and improve your contracts per hour.
Track your progress: Use the RuneLite Mahogany Homes plugin to see contract requirements and track your points without talking to Amy.

Frequently Asked Questions – OSRS Mahogany Homes Calculator

What does this OSRS Mahogany Homes calculator do?

This calculator helps you plan Construction training with Mahogany Homes. Enter your current and target level or XP, add your plank prices, and the tool estimates the contracts, planks, plank cost, GP per XP, training time, and Carpenter points for your chosen contract strategy.

How accurate are the XP and cost estimates?

The calculator uses Mahogany Homes tier data, XP values, Carpenter point rewards, and average plank requirements. Costs are estimates because Grand Exchange prices and assigned house layouts can vary. The Carpenter's outfit is included as an XP boost, while the Crystal saw is treated as a level-helping item rather than an XP bonus.

Which Mahogany Homes contract tier is best for fast XP?

Expert contracts at level 70 offer the highest average XP per contract, so they are normally the fastest option when you can afford mahogany planks. Adept contracts are still popular because teak planks are usually cheaper, making them a strong balance between cost and XP. You can use automatic tier selection or compare tiers manually.

Is Mahogany Homes cheaper than traditional Construction training?

Mahogany Homes is usually cheaper than traditional Construction training because you get more XP from each plank and earn Carpenter points along the way. The trade-off is speed: POH methods can be faster, while Mahogany Homes is often better for players who care more about cost, rewards, or ironman-friendly training.

Can this calculator help me plan Carpenter points and rewards?

Yes. The calculator shows the Carpenter points you can expect from your plan and compares them with common reward costs, including the Plank sack, Amy's saw, Hosidius blueprints, supply crates, and each Carpenter's outfit piece. The full outfit costs 2,000 points in total: helmet 400, shirt 800, trousers 600, and boots 200.

Do I need to enter live Grand Exchange prices?

You do not have to enter live prices, but current Grand Exchange prices will give a better cost estimate. The example prices are only there for quick planning. Changing plank prices will affect the estimated plank cost and GP per XP, but it will not change the number of contracts or Carpenter points.
