Poker Pot Odds Calculator

Calculate the required equity implied by a pot size and call amount. This is price math, not a command to call, fold, shove, or increase stakes.

Pot odds tool scope

What it owns

Pot odds ratio and required equity from current pot and call amount.

What it excludes

Opponent ranges, implied odds, rake, tournament ICM, board texture, legal status and live action advice.

Privacy and RG

No private account data is needed. If math creates urgency to chase or recover losses, stop and call or text 1-800-MY-RESET.

Calculate required equity

Formula: required equity = call amount / (pot size + call amount). Rake, future action and ICM can change the real decision.
