The theoretical maximum penalty, applied when a level 500 player fights a level 0 monster, according to this formula, is '''99.89%'''. However, due to the low base experience (205) of a level 0 monster, this value (0.23) is rounded up to 1xp, which is the minimum a player can earn after defeating a monster. This decreases the actual penalty to '''99.5%''', despite the actual penalty being theoretically much higher.

Currently the smallest observable penalty occurs at a combat level difference of +11, giving a penalty of '''1.38%''' (displayed as 2% in-game), while the greatest observable penalty, currently still subject to more testing, occurs when comparing a level 494 Watchperson with a level 39 Eyeless Zombie, a level difference of +455, for which the player will obtain 1xp (rounded down from 1.59) out of the monster's 758 base experience, resulting in a '''99.87%''' penalty correct to two decimal places (displayed as 99% in-game).
