#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int currentparagon;
    int desiredparagon;
    int paragonxp;
    int difference;

    cout << "What is your current paragon level: ";
    cin>> currentparagon; //Gets current paragon
    cout << endl;
    cout << "What is your desired paragon level: ";

    cin.ignore(2);

    if (desiredparagon <= 60); {
        difference = (desiredparagon - currentparagon);
        paragonxp = (difference * 1440000 + 7200000);
    }
    else if ( desiredparagon  >= 61 && <= 71); {
        difference = (desiredparagon - currentparagon);
        paragonxp = (difference * 2880000 + 7200000);
    }
    else if ( desiredparagon >= 72 && <= 80 ) {
        difference = (desiredparagon - currentparagon);
        paragonxp = (difference * 5040000 + 7200000);
    }
    else if ( desiredparagon >= 81 && <= 90 ) {
        difference = (desiredparagon - currentparagon);
        paragonxp = (difference * 6480000 + 7200000);
    }
    else if ( desiredparagon >= 81 && <= 90 ) {
        difference = (desiredparagon - currentparagon);
        paragonxp = (difference * 8640000 + 7200000);
        return 0;
    }

remove the semicolon from line 19 & 23.

Always put an else clause after the last else if, so it catches any error situations.

Im just learning, so Im not sure what you mean by an "else clause"

even with that Im still getting:

        paragonxp = (difference * 8640000 + 7200000);
        return 0;
    }
    else {
         //an error of some type do something to fix it
    }
}


An else cannot have a condition.

I still cant fix the "expected primary-expression" error.

else if ( desiredparagon >= 61 && <= 71) {

These kinds of statements don't make sense in C++. You need to put a valid statement on both sides of the &&:

else if ( desiredparagon >= 61 && desiredparagon <= 71) {
