Experience Required Per Level & Death Penalties per Level

This guide contains a chart that shows you the following things:

• The XP needed for each individual level (e.g.: 9,327 XP to go from level 15 to 16).
  
• The cumulative XP needed to a given level (e.g.: 46,409 XP to go from level 0 to 16).
  
• The XP penalty for death at any given level (this value isn't fixed and changes for each level both in terms of raw XP and as a percentage).
  
• The XP penalty per death at any given level expressed as a percentage of the XP of that level (e.g.: It takes 3,536 XP to go from level 10 to 11 and if you die at level 10 you lose 44 XP which is 1.26% of the XP required for that level).

The XP needed for any given level is calculated by the game according to the following formula:
((((playerLevel x playerLevel x playerLevel) ^1.16) x 32) + ((playerLevel x playerLevel) x 300)) x 0.1 + 36 The XP you lose at any given level is calculated by the game game according to the following formula:
(200*(playerLevel^2.25))*(playerLevel/8000)

You get 50% of the XP lost on death back if/when you pick up your corpse.

If you want to do the calculations yourself make sure that you keep the brackets in mind and do everything in the right order!

These figures were computed before the Grim Dawn expansion expected in Q2/Q3 of 2017 was released and the figures were calculated based on the assumption that they won't fundamentally rework the XP mechanic.

As of the making of this guide the developers have announced that 15 new levels will be added raising the level cap to 100.
