5e Jump Calculator
Welcome to 5e Jump Calculator, a tiny online tool built to solve one oddly specific D&D 5e problem: figuring out jumps.
If you’ve ever been the DM who paused combat to dig through the PHB, argued over how far a character can really leap, or tried to reconstruct from memory which stats affect jump distance, this tool was built with you in mind.
So, What Does This Site Do?
5e Jump Calculator is a simple online helper that turns the official 5th Edition jumping rules into instant numbers.
You provide basic character info—like Strength score, height, and a few relevant conditions—and the calculator spits out your:
Long jump distance
Maximum high jump
Effective reach while jumping
Other useful jump-related numbers based on the official rules
No back-of-the-napkin math, no rules confusion—just straightforward outputs you can rely on.
The Story Behind the Site
This site was the result of actual game-night problems.
As a Dungeon Master and player, I often hit the same situation:
A player asks, "Can I make that jump?" and we all pause to look up the details.
The 5e rules for jumping aren’t especially complicated, but they are easy to forget. I found myself reaching for the PHB over and over again, so I did the sensible nerd thing: I made a dedicated tool.
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 just as tired of flipping pages mid-session.
How It Works (In Plain Language)
This tool implements the official Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition jumping rules as written in the PHB.
