invaluable

Worth incalculable amounts

Invaluable means extremely valuable—so precious that its worth cannot be measured: Her advice proved invaluable during the crisis.

Despite the negative prefix, invaluable doesn't mean "not valuable" but rather "beyond valuation." The word applies to things whose worth exceeds any price: invaluable experience, invaluable contributions, an invaluable resource.
