Piggy Bank

The Piggy Bank.

The Piggy Bank is a premium mechanic in Egg, Inc.

Function

The Piggy Bank grows by 1 every time something gets upgraded or purchased, like Research and Habs. You can 'crack' it for $4.99 or £4.99, which will reset the counter to 0 and give you all the Golden Eggs inside the Piggy Bank. Each time it is cracked it gains a bonus, starting at 2% on the first level, 25% on the second level, and .10n+.10% after that point (e.g. level 6 would have a 70% bonus). It can also gain bonuses by completing contracts, like an extra level, double golden eggs, or simply adding more Golden Eggs. At a certain point, the Piggy Bank fills up and cannot be incremented by buying things. This point is equal to 15K+5Kn.

Strategy

Ever since update 1.10 saw the introduction of Piggy Bank caps, it is no longer worth it to individually buy vehicles or stop at each egg.

However, a piggy bank should be close to maxed out whenever a x2 rolls around, to get the maximum amount of golden eggs from it. Then, it should be cracked.

You need 1,813,662 to get all Epic Research plus the Hyperloop, but saving that much normally would require constant piggy cracking.

Trivia

The piggy bank used to cost $2.99 and £2.99, but it was changed on 14 July 2019 after the $1 piggy sale.
