Cookies per Second

Cookies per Second, or CpS, represents the number of cookies earned for every second of game play. CpS is one of the most important elements in Cookie Clicker. The more CpS you have, the quicker you can buy upgrades and buildings.

CpS calculation

To calculate the total CpS, first add together the CpS values for all buildings multiplied by the multiplier the Pantheon gives, (see the Buildings article for details) and multiply it by the multiplier. If you have the "egg" upgrade, add 9 to this total. This is the base CpS. The base CpS is then multiplied by several multipliers, one after the other:

1. First is the Prestige bonus. Each Prestige level is worth 1% once Prestige has been fully unlocked.
   • The Dragon God aura multiplies this bonus by an extra 1.05; Reality Bending adds 0.005 to this multiplier
   • Lucky digit, Lucky number, and Lucky payout heavenly upgrades multiply the bonus by 1.01 each
   • Pantheon god Dotjeiss multiplies the bonus by 0.7/0.8/0.9
2. Next are the Minigame effects from the Garden, Pantheon and the Grimoire.
3. Next Heralds gives +1% CpS for each patreon supporter (or every 100 Steam players currently playing the game if you're playing on Steam) for 41% more CpS on web and up to 100% more CpS on Steam.
4. Next are the cookie upgrades. Each cookie multiplies independently, so with 5 cookies at 2% each, the multiplier is 1.02⁵.
   • The Starlove heavenly upgrade increases Valentine's cookies from 2% to 3%
   • Pantheon God Selebrak makes Valentine's cookies 30%/20%/10% more powerful
5. Next are the Grandmapocalypse upgrades: Specialized chocolate chips (1%), Designer cocoa beans (2%), Underworld ovens (3%), Exotic nuts (4%), and Arcane sugar (5%), multiplied independently.
6. Next are the Santa upgrades: Increased merriness (15%), Improved jolliness (15%), A lump of coal (1%), An itchy sweater (1%), Santa's dominion (20%), and Santa's legacy, which is worth 3% per Santa level, maxing out at 45%. All of these are multiplied independently.
7. Next are the Fortune upgrades: Fortune #100 (1%), Fortune #101 (7%).
8. Next is the Dragon upgrade: Dragon scale (3%).
9. Next are the kitten upgrades. See Milk for calculation details.
10. Next is the Easter egg bonus. There are 12 common eggs which each carry a 1% multiplicative bonus, and the Century egg is variable from 0% to 10% (see its page for details). Therefore, the final multiplier with all eggs is between 1.01¹²≈1.127 and 1.1×1.01¹²≈1.140.
11. Next is the effect of Sugar Baking: 1% for every unspent sugar lump, capped at 100.
12. Next are the Dragon auras: Radiant Appetite multiplies production by 2, Dragon's Fortune multiplies production by 2.23 for each Golden Cookie on screen, Reality Bending adds 0.1 to the Radiant appetite multiplier and 0.123 to the Dragon's Fortune multiplier.
13. If your bakery name is Orteil, production is multiplied by 0.99, and if it is Ortiel, 0.98. These are not case sensitive.
14. The Wrinkler multiplier is equal to -5% times the number of Wrinklers on your Big Cookie, so if you have 5 wrinklers, you have a -25% bonus (multiplier of 0.75). This maxes out at 14 wrinklers, for a -70% (but actually 84%, as it is not possible to reach 14 wrinklers without Dragon Guts increasing wither rate) multiplier (However, see the Wrinkler section for why wrinklers are actually quite good).
    • This is further multiplied by wrinkler appetite effects from the garden and the Auras Dragon Guts and Reality Bending.
15. If the Elder Covenant is active, production is multiplied by 0.95.
16. If the Golden switch is active, production is multiplied by at least 1.5. With Residual Luck, each of the following golden cookie upgrades adds 0.1 to the multiplier: Get lucky, Lucky day, Serendipity, Golden goose egg, Heavenly luck, Lasting fortune, Decisive fate, Lucky digit, Lucky number, and Lucky payout, up to 2.5.
17. If the Shimmering Veil is on, production is multiplied by 1.5. Reinforced membrane adds 0.10 to this multiplier, and each of Delicate touch, Steadfast murmur, and Glittering edge add 0.05 to this multiplier for a maximum of a 1.75 multiplier.
18. If you're currently experiencing any Buffs, they provide an additional multiplier.
    • Golden Cookie Buffs:
      • Frenzy is 7×
      • Dragon Harvest is 15×, 17× with Dragon fang
      • Building specials are +10% per building of the selected type
    • Wrath Cookie Buffs:
      • Elder Frenzy is 666×
      • Clot is 0.5×
      • Cursed finger is 0×, but increases the cookies per click
      • Building debuffs are 1 / (1 + .1 per building of the selected type)
    • Sugar Frenzy is 3×
    • Loans is x1.5, x2, and x1.2, respectively. Each loan has a payback period where CpS is multiplied by 0.25, 0.1, and 0.8, respectively. All loans independently multiply the CpS.

Multiplying together all of these bonuses, excluding the Pantheon building multipliers and the Wrinkler multiplier, gives the "multiplier" number seen on the Stats page. Multiplying the base CpS by this multiplier gives you the final "Cookies per second" number seen on the Stats page. The "Raw cookies per second" stat seen on the Stats page is calculated the same way by stopping after step 13 and excluding the effect of the Dragon's Fortune aura.

	There's really no hard limit to how long these achievement names can be and to be quite honest I'm rather curious to see how far we can go. Adolphus W. Green (1844–1917) started as the Principal of the Groton School in 1864. By 1865, he became second assistant librarian at the New York Mercantile Library; from 1867 to 1869, he was promoted to full librarian. From 1869 to 1873, he worked for Evarts, Southmayd & Choate, a law firm co-founded by William M. Evarts, Charles Ferdinand Southmayd and Joseph Hodges Choate. He was admitted to the New York State Bar Association in 1873. Anyway, how's your day been?	Bake 10 sextillion cookies per second.	240
