PP Calculator: Performance Point for osu!

How to Use the osu! PP Calculator

Our calculator is a powerful tool for analyzing any score. To find the PP for a specific play, you’ll need a few key details from the in-game results screen.

1. Enter the Beatmap

Paste the URL or the numerical Beatmap ID of the osu! map you played into the input field. The calculator will automatically fetch the map’s difficulty data (Star Rating, CS, AR, OD, HP).

2. Select Your Mods

Check the boxes for any mods you used during your play. The calculator will automatically adjust the map’s difficulty parameters.

• Easy (EZ)

• No Fail (NF)

• Half Time (HT)

• Hard Rock (HR)

• Sudden Death (SD) / Perfect (PF)

• Double Time (DT) / Nightcore (NC)

• Hidden (HD)

• Flashlight (FL)

3. Enter Your Score Details

Provide the exact details of your performance. Precision here is key for an accurate PP calculation.

• Accuracy (%): Enter your accuracy percentage (e.g., 98.76).

• Max Combo: Enter the highest combo you achieved during the play.

• Number of Misses: Enter the total number of misses (x’s) in your score. You can also add your 100 and 50 counts for a more precise calculation.

Understanding Your Performance Points (PP)

The calculator provides a detailed breakdown of your score’s value. Understanding these components is the first step to becoming a more consistent player.

Total PP Awarded

This is the final PP value for the score you entered. If this score is better than your other top plays, it will be added to your profile and contribute to your overall rank, based on the weighting system.

The PP Breakdown: Aim, Speed, and Accuracy

Your total PP isn’t just one number; it’s a combination of algorithms that evaluate different skills. The primary components are:

• Aim PP: This value rewards your ability to accurately snap to and follow circles and sliders. Beatmaps with large screen jumps, unconventional patterns, and high approach rates give more potential Aim PP.

• Speed PP: This value rewards your ability to tap and hit notes in rapid succession. High BPM (Beats Per Minute) maps with long “streams” of notes give high potential Speed PP.

• Accuracy PP: This value rewards your timing precision. It scales exponentially, meaning the difference in PP between 98% and 99% accuracy is far greater than the difference between 92% and 93%. Maps with a high Overall Difficulty (OD) offer more Accuracy PP.

How Mods Affect Your PP

Mods are the biggest multipliers for PP. They alter the map’s difficulty, which in turn changes the potential PP values.

Your osu! PP System Questions Answered

What is “Star Rating” (SR)?

Star Rating is the game’s automated calculation of a beatmap’s difficulty, represented by a number (e.g., 5.27 stars). It is the baseline from which all PP calculations are made. A higher Star Rating generally means a higher potential PP value. However, two maps with the same SR can be worth very different amounts of PP depending on whether they are Aim-focused or Speed-focused.

Why is a 95% accuracy score worth so much less than a 99% score?

The osu! PP system is designed to heavily reward consistency and precision. The accuracy component of the PP formula scales exponentially. This means that each percentage point of accuracy you gain at the higher end (98% -> 99% -> 100%) is worth exponentially more PP than at the lower end (90% -> 91%). A single miss can also have a massive negative impact on a score’s final PP value.

What is a “choke” and how does it affect my PP?

A “choke” is a heartbreaking moment in osu! where a player has a Full Combo (FC) going but misses one of the last notes of the map. This affects your PP in two huge ways:

1. Combo Break: You lose the massive combo-based score multiplier.

2. Accuracy Loss: A miss drastically lowers your accuracy. Our calculator can be a powerful tool to see the difference. You can calculate the PP for your “choked” score, then change the misses to 0 and set the combo to the map’s max to see how much PP the choke cost you.

What is “PP farming”?

PP farming is the strategy of specifically playing certain types of beatmaps that are known to be over-weighted by the current PP system, meaning they give a high amount of PP relative to their actual difficulty. Historically, this has often meant playing short, high-BPM “jump” maps that give a lot of Aim PP without requiring much stamina or consistency.

What are “PP reworks”?

The developers of osu! periodically release major updates, or “reworks,” to the PP calculation algorithm. These reworks are designed to:

• Better reward a wider variety of skills (e.g., technical “tech” mapping, stamina).

• Nerf maps that are considered too easy to “farm.”

• Make the ranking system a more accurate reflection of overall player skill. Our calculator is always updated to use the formulas from the latest PP rework (e.g., the 2025 rework).

Why doesn’t my rank go up much after I set a good score?

This is due to the weighting system. Only your single best PP score (your “top play”) contributes 100% of its value to your total PP. Your second-best play is weighted at 95%, your third at 90%, and so on.

Concrete Example: If your 100th best play is worth 200pp, it is only adding about 40pp to your total ranked score (weighted at ~20%). If you set a new score of 205pp that becomes your new #100 play, you will only gain a tiny fraction of that 5pp difference. You need to set scores that beat your top plays to see significant rank increases.

What’s the difference between Aim, Speed, and “Tech” maps?

• Aim Maps: Focus on large, difficult, screen-crossing jumps that test your cursor control.

• Speed/Stream Maps: Focus on fast, continuous streams of notes that test your tapping speed and stamina.

• Tech Maps: Focus on complex, unconventional rhythms and patterns that are difficult to read and execute, testing a wide range of skills at once. The PP system has historically struggled to properly reward high-level tech players.

Can I use this calculator for other game modes?

No. This calculator is designed specifically for the osu! standard game mode. Other modes like osu!mania, osu!taiko, and osu!catch have entirely different gameplay and their own unique PP calculation systems.
