Use this calculator when you care about the raw power breakdown: how much each input contributes, where caps are hit, and how much power is unused above the effective cap.

v39.0+ cash is a shared category with a 60,000 power cap. Pops and generated income share a 90,000 cap. Non-T5 tiers cap at 10,000, and extra Tier 5s cap at 50,000.
Power Totems are added after those categories and can push the total toward the 200,000 effective cap.
The game only uses up to 200,000 effective power for degree calculation. The calculator still shows total power and unused power so overinvestment is visible.
