Quick answer

What this BTD6 Paragon calculator estimates

Paragon degree comes from the combined power of cash, pops or supported generated income, non-Tier-5 upgrade tiers, extra Tier 5 towers, and Geraldo totems.

Start with known values

Enter the current in-game price and only the sacrifice values you can verify.

Read the remaining gap

Use the remaining gap below the result to test which power bucket still needs work.

Treat it as a planning estimate

Prices and mechanics can change between updates, so confirm the final setup in-game.
