How long does it take to max Town Hall 16, and what does it cost?
If your TH15 village is fully maxed, maxing Town Hall 16 takes (raw time, no discounts): 749 days of builder work, 360.3 days in the laboratory and 148.5 days in the pet house. These queues run in parallel, and the longest one decides the finish. The Town Hall upgrade itself (9 days, 15 M Gold) is not included in these totals. Walls need 1.63 B gold or elixir on top.

| Pet house | 148.5 days | 118.8 days | 118.8 dayssingle queue |
The longest queue decides the finish: about 288.3 days with Gold Pass and 6 builders. In practice work is never split perfectly between builders, so it can take longer.

Calculated from the level times and costs in a community game-data package: every copy of a building is upgraded separately (defenses that can be merged are counted after merging), and Supercharge levels and the Town Hall itself are not included. Unofficial; current in-game values may differ. Raw time: Gold Pass and event discounts are not applied.
