Three paid places
A 50/30/20 structure preserves the full pool even when each raw percentage produces fractions of a cent.
Poker Tournament Payout Calculator
Build a transparent prize schedule from entries, buy-in, fees, added money, and custom percentages. The poker tournament payout calculator works in the smallest currency unit so rounded places still sum exactly to the prize pool.
Build a cent-accurate prize schedule
Rounding remainders are assigned from first place downward; no registration or payment is provided.
Separate collection from fees
Total collection is entries times buy-in. Entry fees are then removed and added money included, exposing each step before percentages are applied.
Percentages must conserve the pool
Paid-place percentages must total 100%. Each place is floored to a cent and the remaining cents are distributed from first place downward.
Administrative arithmetic only
The tool neither registers entrants nor processes payments. Currency labels and local legal or tax obligations remain the organizer’s responsibility.
Audit a payout schedule before publishing it
Reconcile entrants multiplied by the award contribution, then account separately for fees and added money. Confirm that the number of winners does not exceed entrants, all percentage shares total exactly 100%, and rounded cash awards return the complete available fund before sharing the schedule.
Worked examples
Added sponsorship
Added money increases prizes without increasing entry fee totals.
Frequently asked questions
Does buy-in include the fee?
In this input model, buy-in is collected per entry and fee per entry is subtracted separately.
How are spare cents assigned?
One cent at a time from first place downward.
Can paid places exceed entries?
No. Validation prevents more prizes than entrants.
Can this take payments?
No. It only performs local schedule arithmetic.
