How long does it take to max Town Hall 9, and what does it cost?
If your TH8 village is fully maxed, maxing Town Hall 9 takes (raw time, no discounts): 133.3 days of builder work, 33.1 days in the laboratory. These queues run in parallel, and the longest one decides the finish. The Town Hall upgrade itself (2 days, 2.5 M Gold) is not included in these totals. Walls need 79.8 M gold or elixir on top.
Time summary (per queue)

| Laboratory (troops, spells, siege) | 33.1 days | 26.5 days | 26.5 dayssingle queue |
The longest queue decides the finish: about 26.5 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.
