Poker Tournament Payout Calculator
Build a prize structure from entry fees and your payout weights.
| Place | Final pool share | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 50 % | 5,000.00 ₽ |
| 2 | 30 % | 3,000.00 ₽ |
| 3 | 20 % | 2,000.00 ₽ |
How it works
Every entry pays the same total price, including the organizer's fee. Subtract that fee before building the prize pool. Each positive weight sets a paid place's relative share; the weights need not add to 100. Cent rounding uses the largest fractional remainders, with ties going to earlier places.
100 entries priced at 110 including a 10 fee create a 10,000 prize pool and 1,000 in fees. Weights 50 / 30 / 20 allocate prizes of 5,000 / 3,000 / 2,000.
Use 1–1,000,000 entries and at most 1,000 paid places, no more than the entry count. Weights must be positive and non-increasing. Every listed place must receive at least 0.01; the pool cannot exceed 1 trillion and monetary totals must remain safe integer cents. These are your weights, not an official payout table or ICM. No taxes, guarantees or added prizes are modeled.

Build a poker tournament payout structure from relative weights
Each number in the weight list represents one paid finishing place, starting with first place. Weights 5 / 3 / 2 and 50 / 30 / 20 describe the same 50% / 30% / 20% target split. Choose those weights yourself to reflect the organizer's intended structure; the calculator does not invent an official schedule or decide how many places should be paid.
Round the complete prize pool together, rather than rounding each target payout independently. Remaining cents go to the largest fractional remainders, with tied remainders awarded to the earlier place. The result uses the entire pool, keeps prizes non-increasing and rejects a structure if any listed place would receive zero.
FAQ
Does the entry price already include the tournament fee?expand_more
Yes. Enter the total amount paid for one entry, then specify the fee already included in it. For a 100 + 10 event, enter 110 as the price and 10 as the fee. Only 100 per entry enters the prize pool. All entries are assumed to have the same price and fee.
Do the payout weights have to sum to 100?expand_more
No. Each weight is divided by their total. Use positive weights in non-increasing order, one for each paid place, with no more paid places than entries. Add no zeros for unpaid places. Each listed place must receive at least 0.01 after rounding.
How is a payout structure different from an ICM deal?expand_more
A payout structure assigns a prize to each finishing place before considering who holds the chips. An ICM calculation starts with existing prizes and player stacks to estimate each player's tournament equity. This page sets the prizes from your weights; it does not value stacks or model finishing probabilities.
