Which egg should you buy right now?

Type in how much Cash you have. We'll show the egg that pays itself back fastest, plus the best long-term earner you can afford.

Payback math uses cost ÷ income/min from the same community-sourced dataset as the Dino Database; we're verifying exact numbers in-game before treating them as gospel. Last updated 2026-07-08.

FAQ

How does the Egg ROI Calculator decide which egg is "best"?

It compares every dino you can afford with your entered Cash on two axes: income per minute (best long-term earner) and cost ÷ income (fastest payback). When those don't point to the same dino, we show both so you can pick based on whether you're optimizing to compound quickly or to maximize steady income.

Why does the calculator say I can't afford anything?

The cheapest Common egg (Compsognathus) costs 500 Cash. If you enter less than that, there is genuinely no dino you can buy yet — redeem a code or wait for more park visitors.

Should I buy the fastest-payback egg or the best long-term earner?

Fastest payback compounds into more eggs sooner, which usually wins early on. Once your income is stable, the best long-term earner pulls ahead since you are no longer racing to afford the next tier.
