What Is the Fallout 4 Calculator?

The Fallout 4 Calculator is a character planning tool that helps you allocate SPECIAL stats—Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck—and unlock perks efficiently. It simulates level progression and shows how your choices impact gameplay.

Why It Matters

In Fallout 4, every build choice matters. Perk unlocks are tied to your SPECIAL points, and a poorly planned setup can limit your combat efficiency or dialogue options. Our calculator ensures you’re never underpowered or stuck with mismatched perks.

How to Use the Fallout 4 Build Calculator

Step 1 – Allocate Your SPECIAL Points

Start with the 21 base points and assign them to any of the 7 attributes. You can go all-in on one stat or spread them out based on your intended build.

Step 2 – Choose Perks Based on Playstyle

As you allocate points, the perk tree updates live. You can plan out each perk level by level—whether you’re aiming for stealth, melee, V.A.T.S., or crafting builds.

Step 3 – Preview & Save Your Build

Once complete, copy the shareable link to keep your build or share it with friends. You can also reset and experiment with multiple playthroughs.

Do Bobbleheads Affect SPECIAL Planning?

Yes. There are 7 collectible bobbleheads in Fallout 4 that permanently boost each SPECIAL stat by +1. Plan your base allocation accordingly if you intend to collect them during your playthrough.

Tips for Better Builds

Start with Perks, Then Backtrack Stats

Instead of assigning points first, choose your desired perks and then adjust your SPECIAL stats to unlock them efficiently. This reverse planning saves unnecessary points.

Respect Soft Caps

Most builds max out around 10 in a stat. Use bobbleheads or armor bonuses to push beyond that if needed, rather than over-investing up front.
