D&D Encounter Calculator
Encounter building in fifth edition starts from a per-character XP budget set by level and difficulty, then multiplies the total for the number of monsters, because a group of many weak creatures is far more dangerous than its raw XP suggests. That multiplier is what most homebrew encounters forget.
