DNA Calculator

Use this page as a pencil worksheet, not a live Roblox plugin. Jurassic Pixel ticks DNA about every 30 seconds. That is 120 ticks per hour if you stay alive. Adult rates assume age 100. While growing, current DNA per tick is about (age / 100) times listed gain, so a baby Galli is not earning 4 per tick. The +40% and +60% DNA gamepasses stack on base gain only and together double the listed number. Survival-day bonuses add +1 gain every 10 days, capped at +10 on day 100, and that bonus is not multiplied by passes. Peak Brachiosaurus is 20 x 2 + 10 = 50 DNA per tick, about 6,000 an hour. Pair the tables with How to Grind DNA and the DNA farm tier list. Private servers make the hour real. Public 50-player KOS does not. There are no working codes as of September 2026. Parent index: tools hub.

Assumptions

  • Tick interval about 30 seconds = 120 ticks/hour.
  • You are adult (age 100) and stay alive. Death is 0 DNA for the rest of the growth.
  • Growth time is extra when you swap (Galli about 24 minutes, mid-tiers 30-45, apexes about 60, Deinocheirus/Deinosuchus about 90, Brachio about 120).
  • You cannot use a rate until you own the animal and finish that growth.
  • Giganotosaurus shop cost is unlisted; community quotes about 5,000 DNA are not official. Deinosuchus cost is blank. Hybrids have no listed gain on this wiki, so they have no DNA/hour row. Mosasaurus is removed.
  • Day-100 +10 is a 100-day survival bonus, not a first-session buff.

DNA per hour by dinosaur

Gain is the adult listed number. No pass = gain x 120. Both passes = (gain x 2) x 120. Both + day 100 = (gain x 2 + 10) x 120.

Velo matches Galli on paper and loses because it must hunt. Theri matches Trike on paper and loses because 1,500 HP / 5 armor dies. Spino and Rex match Trike on paper and lose farm rank because hunting on a public server eats the hour. Letters: farm list, PvP. Sheets: herbivores, carnivores.

Hours to shop targets

Hours = target / DNA per hour. Rounded to one decimal. This is adult time only.

A realistic Galli-to-Brachio F2P line is about 6.3 hours to 3,000 on Galli, then about 3.3 hours more on Trike for the remaining 4,000, plus two growth cycles. Both passes cut that roughly in half.

Deinocheirus (gain 15) no pass 1,800/hr: 7,000 about 3.9 hours, 300,000 about 167 hours. Both passes 3,600/hr: 7,000 about 1.9 hours, 300,000 about 83 hours. The 300,000 column only matters when Albino Terror or Pitch Black Reaper is onsale; track that on How to Get Indominus. Hide while the bar fills: How to Survive. First spawn: Getting Started.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

How many DNA ticks happen in an hour?

About 120, if ticks stay near 30 seconds and you stay alive. Rates and shop hours are in the tables on this calculator page.

Do the 40% and 60% passes stack to more than double?

They stack on base gain only and together double the listed number. They do not multiply the day-100 +10. Peak Brachio is about 6,000/hour. Route: How to Grind DNA.

Why is there no Indominus DNA/hour row?

This wiki does not invent hybrid gain. Last listed price was 300,000 DNA and the tile is often offsale. See How to Get Indominus.

Which dinosaur should I sit as while I use this worksheet?

Free Gallimimus until Triceratops, then Brachiosaurus. Ranked farm letters: DNA farm list. Hide on a quiet server using How to Survive.
