Enter your weapon’s base attack rating and scaling bonus into the calculator to determine its total Attack Rating (AR).

Attack Rating Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the total Attack Rating (AR) of a weapon in Elden Ring.

Total AR = Base Attack Rating * (1 + Scaling Bonus / 100)

Variables:

  • Total AR is the final attack rating of the weapon ($)
  • Base Attack Rating is the weapon’s inherent damage ($)
  • Scaling Bonus is the percentage increase based on the weapon’s scaling attributes (%)

To calculate the total AR, multiply the base attack rating by the scaling bonus percentage and add it to the base attack rating.
