Calculate poker tournament payouts online. Find the prize pool and payouts for each position using buy-ins, fees, rebuys, add-ons, and payout percentages.
A poker tournament payout depends on the prize pool and the payout percentage for each finishing position. Our poker tournaments payout calculator helps you calculate the prize pool and estimated payout for each paid position in seconds.
We developed this calculator so users can easily calculate poker tournament payouts for Texas Hold'em, casino poker tournaments, and other tournament formats. You can enter the number of entries, buy-in, fee, rebuys, add-ons, and payout percentages.
This free poker tournament payout calculator is useful for checking a poker tournament payout structure before or during a tournament.
The calculator first finds the amount from each entry that goes into the prize pool.
Prize Contribution = Buy-in − Fee
Then it calculates the total prize pool.
Prize Pool = (Entries × Prize Contribution) + Rebuys + Add-ons
The payout for each finishing position is then calculated with this formula:
Position Payout = Prize Pool × (Payout Percentage ÷ 100)
For example, if the prize pool is $9,000 and first place receives 40%:
First Place Payout = $9,000 × (40 ÷ 100)
First Place Payout = $3,600
The calculator also adds all entered payout percentages and all calculated payouts.
Enter the total number of players or tournament entries. For example, enter 100 for 100 entries.
Enter the buy-in amount and the fee or rake deducted from each entry. The calculator subtracts the fee from the buy-in to find the prize contribution.
Enter the total amount from rebuys and add-ons. These amounts are added directly to the prize pool.
Enter each paid position, such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Then enter the payout percentage for each position.
Click the calculate button. The calculator shows the prize contribution, total prize pool, payout percentage, and payout amount for each position.
Suppose a Texas Hold'em tournament has 100 entries. The buy-in is $100, the fee is $10, and there are no rebuys or add-ons.
Prize Contribution = $100 − $10 = $90
Prize Pool = (100 × $90) + $0 + $0
Prize Pool = $9,000
Suppose the poker tournament payout structure gives 40% to first place, 25% to second, 18% to third, 10% to fourth, and 7% to fifth.
First = $9,000 × 40% = $3,600
Second = $9,000 × 25% = $2,250
Third = $9,000 × 18% = $1,620
Fourth = $9,000 × 10% = $900
Fifth = $9,000 × 7% = $630
The total payout percentage is 100%, so the total payouts equal the $9,000 prize pool.
A poker tournaments payout calculator makes it easy to calculate a tournament prize pool and payouts. It can be used for Texas Hold'em, casino poker tournaments, and other poker events. The key calculation is simple: subtract the fee from the buy-in, calculate the prize pool, and apply each payout percentage to that pool.
There is no single payout structure for every poker tournament. The percentage paid to each position can vary by tournament, number of entries, and organizer rules.
Using this calculator's formula, the prize pool is calculated as:
Prize Pool = (Entries × (Buy-in − Fee)) + Rebuys + Add-ons
Multiply the prize pool by the payout percentage for the selected finishing position.
