Genshin Impact Gacha Cost Calculator
Genshin Impact numbers, not guesses. The character event banner runs a 0.6% base rate with soft pity from pull 74 and a hard ceiling at 90. Everything below is calculated from that model.

What a Genshin Impact 5★ actually costs
One pull costs 160 Primogems at the non-discount rate. At roughly 64.80 Primogems per US dollar that is about $2.47 per pull before any monthly pass discount. Prices vary by region and by which pack you buy.
Using the pity model rather than a flat rate: the average player spends about $154 for one 5★ (62.3 pulls). Reaching the 90-pull guarantee costs $222, and 90% of players are done by $198.
Why bundle size matters more than the rate
Genshin Impact: cost to reach each confidence level
| Scenario | Pulls | Cost (Primogems) | Cost (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50% | 76 | 12,160 | $188 |
| 90% | 80 | 12,800 | $198 |
| Guarantee | 90 | 14,400 | $222 |
Where players overspend
Buying small packs repeatedly is the expensive way to hit a ceiling: the largest bundle carries the best ratio, and the monthly pass cuts the effective price further. Decide the budget in pulls first, then buy the packs that reach it — never the other way around.
