About these numbers: Prices are fixed base item Values in caps documented on the Fallout Wiki. Bethesda and Obsidian never set a cap to dollar rate, so this page compares cap values against each other and offers no USD conversion rather than inventing one.

About this converter

New Vegas items carry fixed base Values in caps, from 3 cap Sunset Sarsaparilla to 150 cap Super Stimpak. That Super costs the same as fifty Sunsets or two regular Stimpaks at 75 each, while the whole chem shelf sits flat at 20 caps: RadAway, Buffout, Med-X, Mentats, Psycho and Rad-X all share one price. Purified Water and Nuka-Cola join them at 20, and the Doctor's Bag at 55 bridges the gap to Stimpak territory. Every figure here is the documented base Value, and Barter skill plus Charisma shift what you actually pay at the counter, so the notes flag base versus counter and the table pins base only.

How to use it

Pick two items and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked: one holds a count of the first item, one the matching count of the second, one the total in caps. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Super Stimpak against Sunset Sarsaparillas.

Barter and Charisma move real counter prices away from base Value, sometimes far, so every row here is base only and says so. Hardcore mode changes what chems and water do, not what they are worth. Looted goods carry the same base Values, which is why vendors anchor the context lines.

FAQ

What is the base value of a Stimpak?

75 caps base. A Super Stimpak is 150, exactly double.

What is the cheapest item here?

Sunset Sarsaparilla at 3 caps base. Fifty buy one Super Stimpak.

Why did the merchant charge me more?

Barter skill and Charisma change counter prices. This table lists fixed base Values so rows compare fairly.

Does Hardcore mode change prices?

No. Hardcore changes what chems, water and food do, not their base cap Values.
