Borderlands 2 Talent Calculator
Borderlands 2 is a game of strategy and precision. Every character class has three unique skill trees, and allocating points wisely is critical to maximize damage, survivability, and support skills.
Our Borderlands 2 Talent Calculator allows you to plan skill point allocation, check total and remaining points, and visualize skill distribution. Whether you play Salvador, Maya, Zer0, Krieg, Gaige, or Axton, this tool ensures your build is optimal from level 1 to 72.
This calculator is perfect for players who want to experiment with builds, plan respecs, or simply track skill progression.
How the Calculator Works
The Borderlands 2 Talent Calculator uses the following inputs:
- Character Class – Choose from Salvador, Maya, Zer0, Axton, Krieg, or Gaige.
- Character Level (1–72) – Determines the total skill points available.
- Skill Points Allocation – Enter points for each of the three skill trees for your class.
The calculator outputs:
- Available Skill Points based on level
- Total Points Allocated across all trees
- Remaining Points yet to allocate
- Skill Distribution Bars for visual comparison
- Build Status – whether your build is complete or if points remain
