I love playing Roblox's Grow a Garden, but last week I made a trade that haunts me.
I traded my prized legendary pet for what looked like a fair deal. The other player seemed excited. I hit "accept" feeling confident.
Then I checked the values properly. I'd just lost 50,000 coins worth of value.
The Problem Every Trader Faces
Here's what went wrong: I didn't check the pet weight percentage.
In Grow a Garden, a 200% weight pet is worth TWENTY TIMES more than a 10% weight pet of the same species. That "rare" pet I received? It was only 10% weight. My legendary? 150% weight.
I got absolutely destroyed in that trade.
So I Built a Solution
As a developer, I was frustrated enough to spend my weekend building a free calculator that checks everything:
✅ Pet weight percentages (the #1 scam factor)
✅ Mutation multipliers
✅ Win/Fair/Loss trade analysis
✅ Collection value tracking
✅ Hatch speed calculations
The calculator does all the math in literally 10 seconds. No signup, no ads, completely free.
Why This Matters
According to community data, over 60% of new players get scammed in their first week of trading. The game's economy is complex:
- Pet weights range from 1% to 200%
- Mutations can multiply values by 2x-10x
- Friend bonuses add 20% value
- Rarity alone means nothing
Most players (like me before my mistake) only look at rarity and species. That's exactly how scammers exploit people.
How It Works
The calculator breaks down both sides of any trade:
- Enter your offer (items, pets, quantities)
- Enter their offer
- Select mutation types and pet weights
- Get instant Win/Fair/Loss verdict
It shows you the exact percentage difference between offers. If you're losing more than 10%, it warns you clearly.
Try It Yourself
I'm sharing this because I wish someone had given me this tool before I lost my favorite pet.

Whether you're a veteran trader or just starting out, it takes 10 seconds to verify any trade. Don't make my mistake.
What's Next
I'm planning to add:
- Real-time value updates from community trading data
- Trade history tracking
- Profit/loss analytics over time
- Mobile app version
