Find out how many packs you need to reach your target VIP level and which pack size gives the best value.
| Pack | Cost | VIP XP | Gems | Base | + Gems |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5 | $5 | 2.5k | 2.5k | 500 XP/$ | 750 XP/$ |
| $10 | $10 | 4k | 5k | 400 XP/$ | 650 XP/$ |
| $20 | $20 | 6k | 10k | 300 XP/$ | 550 XP/$ |
| $50 | $50 | 12k | 25k | 240 XP/$ | 490 XP/$ |
| $100 | $100 | 20k | 50k | 200 XP/$ | 450 XP/$ |
Base efficiency is VIP XP only. + Gems includes converting gems to VIP XP at 2:1 rate. Currently calculating with gem conversion enabled.
The VIP system in Whiteout Survival unlocks permanent bonuses that grow more powerful with each level. VIP status is earned by purchasing packs from the in-game store — each pack grants a specific amount of VIP XP, and every gem in a pack can also be converted to VIP XP at a 2:1 ratio.
There are 12 VIP levels in total. Each level requires progressively more XP, with the jump from VIP 8 to VIP 12 being especially steep. Reaching VIP 12 requires 4,810,000 cumulative VIP XP from your very first pack purchase.
This calculator helps you find the cheapest path to your target VIP level by comparing all five pack sizes and showing which gives the most VIP XP per dollar spent.
Choose the VIP level you are at right now from the dropdown.
Use the slider or type in how much XP you have accumulated within your current level. You can check this in-game on your VIP screen.
Select the VIP level you want to reach. The dropdown shows total cumulative XP required for each level.
If you plan to use your pack gems to buy VIP XP (2 gems = 1 VIP XP), enable the gem conversion option for a more accurate estimate.
Review the Pack Comparison cards. The BEST badge marks the pack that minimises total spending to reach your goal.
The $5 pack is consistently the most efficient option when gem conversion is included, delivering 750 VIP XP per dollar (2,500 base VIP XP + 1,250 bonus XP from converting 2,500 gems at 2:1). Larger packs have lower XP per dollar ratios, so if you are on a budget, buying many small packs is mathematically optimal.
That said, larger packs may offer other perks (resources, speedups, special items) beyond VIP XP and gems. If you value those extras, a larger pack can still be a worthwhile purchase even if the raw VIP efficiency is lower.
750 XP/$ with gem conversion. Best for players focusing purely on VIP level progression on a fixed budget.
650 XP/$ with gems. A solid middle ground if you want a few more resources alongside VIP XP.
550–450 XP/$ with gems. Better for players who want large resource bundles; less efficient for pure VIP progression.
The table below shows the cumulative VIP XP needed to reach each level from zero:
| Level | Cumulative XP | XP for this level |
|---|---|---|
| VIP 1 | 0 | 2,500 |
| VIP 2 | 2,500 | 5,000 |
| VIP 3 | 7,500 | 12,500 |
| VIP 4 | 20,000 | 30,000 |
| VIP 5 | 50,000 | 40,000 |
| VIP 6 | 90,000 | 70,000 |
| VIP 7 | 160,000 | 100,000 |
| VIP 8 | 260,000 | 350,000 |
| VIP 9 | 610,000 | 600,000 |
| VIP 10 | 1,210,000 | 1,200,000 |
| VIP 11 | 2,410,000 | 2,400,000 |
| VIP 12 | 4,810,000 | — |
Yes — the in-game conversion rate is fixed at 2 gems for 1 VIP XP. This rate does not change with events or VIP level.
If your only goal is maximising VIP XP per dollar, yes. However, larger packs include more resources, speedups, and items. Many players prefer occasional larger packs for those extras while still converting the gems to VIP XP.
No. VIP XP is separate from your Chief Level XP. It is only earned through pack purchases and gem conversion. Your Chief Level progresses through in-game activities.
No. VIP levels are permanent once reached. Your VIP XP never decreases.
VIP 12 is the maximum level and provides the strongest permanent bonuses, including increased construction speed, research speed, troop training speed, and other stat boosts. The exact values depend on your game version.
