About this converter
This page compares Dungeons and Dragons 5e spell scroll gold costs by spell level. Main values are scribing costs from Xanathar Guide to Everything page 133. They show gold and time needed to craft a scroll, not shop price. Rarity runs from Common for cantrip and 1st level to Legendary for 9th level. The last two rows show Dungeon Master Guide market ranges for Common and Uncommon items for context.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 3rd level at 300 gp against 5th level at 1000 gp to see the jump in Rare costs. Then compare 9th level at 15000 gp with the DMG market lows.
Sources are the 5e SRD for scroll rarity and save DC, Xanathar Guide for scribing gold and workweeks, and the DMG for item value ranges. SRD lists cantrip and 1st as Common, 2nd and 3rd as Uncommon, 4th and 5th as Rare, 6th to 8th as Very Rare, and 9th as Legendary. Xanathar costs need the Arcana skill and exotic inks. Market prices shift by town, faction and DM rules, so use these numbers as a base for trade and downtime plans.
