Does the XP calculator work for Bedrock Edition?

What is the fastest way to farm XP in Minecraft?
Mob farms, smelting, and villager trading are the common sources — this calculator helps you plan how much XP a goal actually costs.
Why does the XP cost jump at levels 16 and 31?
Minecraft switches to a steeper formula every 15 levels so late-game progression slows down.
