Notes on inputs
Dragon battleaxe special (recovered %)
If you plan to use another special attack (i.e. you use the dragon battleaxe's special attack, equip a different weapon, wait for the special bar to restore and use that weapon's special attack), then select the input using with the value required to use the second weapon's special attack. This will make the damage more accurate, as the boost from the dragon battleaxe special attack will wear off slightly while waiting for the special bar to restore. Recover special potions are not accounted for.
Custom prayer bonus/level
Leech Strength varies with time between a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 10%, and Turmoil varies with the opponent's level between a minimum of 23% and a maximum of 32%. If you have a more precise value (read from the prayer menu), set Prayer used to Custom bonus and input that bonus to Custom prayer bonus/level. Alternatively, if you are using Turmoil and know your opponent's strength level, set Prayer used to Custom level and input your opponents strength level into Custom prayer bonus/level.

Not covered
- Dharok's set effect - Having lower Hitpoints will raise max hit. No exact formula is known on how to find its effect.
- All decorative armour sets' max hit bonuses (platebody, platelegs, shield) within Castle Wars - effect on formula is unknown
Not 100% correct

Disclaimer
This calculator finds an approximation to your maximum hit. It may be incorrect, especially when using a special attack. If you hit higher than the template predicts, report your findings (including details on all variables above) on the formula thread for analysis, which may result in a more accurate formula being produced.
