Potion of Healing Prices (5e)
How much does a healing potion cost in D&D 5e? Prices and healing amounts for all four Potion of Healing tiers — from the 50 gp common potion up to Supreme Healing.
A Potion of Healing costs 50 gp and restores 2d4 + 2 hit points. The three stronger tiers heal more and cost more, up to the very rare Potion of Supreme Healing at 20,000 gp. Full breakdown below.
| Potion | Rarity | Heals | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potion of Healing The adventurer's staple: a swig of this red liquid knits minor wounds shut in an instant. Cheap, ubiquitous, and the first thing most parties stock before heading into danger. | Common | 2d4 + 2~7 HP | 50 gp |
| Potion of Greater Healing A stronger restorative than the common healing potion, mending serious wounds in a single gulp. A mid-tier staple for any well-stocked party. | Uncommon | 4d4 + 4~14 HP | 200 gp |
| Potion of Superior Healing A high-grade healing draught that mends grievous wounds in one gulp. A top-tier staple for tougher fights. | Rare | 8d4 + 8~28 HP | 2,000 gp |
| Potion of Supreme Healing The strongest of the standard healing potions, mending even grievous wounds in a single gulp. A top-tier lifesaver. | Very Rare | 10d4 + 20~45 HP | 20,000 gp |
Prices use the same DMG and Xanathar's Guide rarity math as the full potion price list. Potions are consumables, so each is priced below a permanent magic item of the same rarity — you only get the effect once.

Why does a Potion of Greater Healing cost more than a Potion of Healing?
Each healing tier steps up a rarity band — common, uncommon, rare, then very rare — and rolls more healing dice than the tier below it. Because both the healing and the rarity climb together, so does the price: a stronger potion is worth more of your gold at the shop and more of a treasure hoard's value.
