How long does it take to max Town Hall 18, and what does it cost?
If your TH17 village is fully maxed, maxing Town Hall 18 takes (raw time, no discounts): 1,789.3 days of builder work, 596.8 days in the laboratory and 110.5 days in the pet house. These queues run in parallel, and the longest one decides the finish. The Town Hall upgrade itself (12 days, 25 M Gold) is not included in these totals. Walls need 5.84 B gold or elixir on top.
