XP and CR tables

The three tables I keep looking up while planning fights, copied from the SRD 5.2.1.

XP by challenge rating

CR	XP
0	0 or 10
1/8	25
1/4	50
1/2	100
1	200
2	450
3	700
4	1,100
5	1,800
6	2,300
7	2,900
8	3,900
9	5,000
10	5,900
11	7,200
12	8,400
13	10,000

CR	XP
14	11,500
15	13,000
16	15,000
17	18,000
18	20,000
19	22,000
20	25,000
21	33,000
22	41,000
23	50,000
24	62,000
25	75,000
26	90,000
27	105,000
28	120,000
29	135,000
30	155,000

CR 0 creatures are worth 0 or 10 XP. The stat block says which.

Proficiency bonus by CR

CR	Bonus
0–4	+2
5–8	+3
9–12	+4
13–16	+5
17–20	+6
21–24	+7
25–28	+8
29–30	+9

Already worked into every stat block. You only need it when you build or tweak a monster.

XP budget per character

Level	Low	Moderate	High
1	50	75	100
2	100	150	200
3	150	225	400
4	250	375	500
5	500	750	1,100
6	600	1,000	1,400
7	750	1,300	1,700
8	1,000	1,700	2,100
9	1,300	2,000	2,600
10	1,600	2,300	3,100
11	1,900	2,900	4,100
12	2,200	3,700	4,700
13	2,600	4,200	5,400
14	2,900	4,900	6,200
15	3,300	5,400	7,800
16	3,800	6,100	9,800
17	4,500	7,200	11,700
18	5,000	8,700	14,200
19	5,500	10,700	17,200
20	6,400	13,200	22,000

Multiply by the number of characters, or let the encounter builder do it.

Notes

CR is how dangerous a monster is; XP is what it costs out of an encounter budget. A CR 1/4 monster is 50 XP, a CR 5 is 1,800. To plan a fight, look up your characters' level in the budget table, multiply by the number of characters, and spend that on monsters. The monster list has CR and XP for every SRD creature.
