5e Jump Calculator
Welcome to 5e Jump Calculator, a straightforward online tool built to solve one oddly specific D&D 5e problem: working out jump distances.
If you’ve ever been the player who stopped a session to flip through the Player’s Handbook, argued over whether a running start is enough, or tried to remember which stats affect jump distance, this site is for you.
What This Tool Is All About
5e Jump Calculator is a free web tool that takes the 5e jump rules and does the math for you.
You plug in your character’s stats—such as Strength, height, and whether you have a running start—and the calculator immediately calculates your:
Maximum long jump distance
Maximum high jump
Effective reach while jumping
Key distances based on the 5e rules as written
No page-flipping, no rough estimates—just clear results you can rely on.
Why I Built This Tool
This site was born from actual game-night problems.
As a Dungeon Master and player, I kept running into the same situation:
A character wants to do something cool and cinematic with a jump, the entire table stalls while we check the rules.
The 5e rules for jumping are simple on paper but annoying in the moment. I found myself reaching for the PHB over and over again, so I did the sensible nerd thing: I wrote a little web app.
5e Jump Calculator began as something I used just for my home games, and then I cleaned it up and put it online in case other tables were running into the same slowdown.
How the Calculator Handles the Rules
This tool follows the official Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition jumping rules found in the Player’s Handbook.
