🔍 Understanding Market Data

Our calculator displays both instant buy (high) and instant sell (low) prices. The instant buy price represents what you'd pay to purchase an item immediately, while the instant sell price shows what you'd receive for an immediate sale. The margin calculation shows the profit per item when buying at the high price and selling at the low price, minus applicable taxes.

The ROI (Return on Investment) percentage helps evaluate the efficiency of your capital usage. Higher ROI percentages indicate more profitable investments relative to the initial cost. High and low alchemy values provide alternative profit methods through magic training, while buy limits show the maximum quantity you can purchase every 4 hours.
