How much can I spend safely?
See your next interest step, what a purchase costs, and the cash after a known Blind reward.
YOUR CASH RESERVE
How much can you spend safely?
Start with the gold shown in your Run. Add a price only when you are looking at a purchase.
Next Blind and interest upgrades
Enter the gold shown in your Run. The amount you can spend before losing next interest appears immediately.
Know the amount you can spend
Interest is paid from gold held before the Blind reward. The planner shows the next step and how a purchase or reroll changes it.
Compare cash with survival
Keeping gold helps later shops only if you can clear the next Blind. If a visible offer turns a losing hand into a winning one, compare that gain with the lost interest in the Run planner.
Look one round ahead
The Blind reward can fund the next shop and the following interest payment. Unused-hand cash, money Jokers, Tags and later purchases can change the final balance.
Frequently asked questions
Should I always keep the next interest step?
No. Spend when a purchase is needed to clear the Blind or has more value for the Run than the interest you lose.
