The calculator

Disclaimer

Poker equity calculator (educational). This tool shows each hand's equity: the share of the pot it would win on average if all the remaining cards were dealt with no more betting. It uses only the cards you enter and treats every unknown card as equally likely. It ignores betting and how anyone plays, and it cannot tell you what will happen in a hand or what to do. “Exact” results count every possible deal. “Simulated” results are estimates; the plus-or-minus figure means each player's true value is very likely (95% confidence) within that range. Nothing you enter leaves your device. Many card rooms and poker sites do not allow calculators during a hand; check their rules.

How it works

What the numbers mean

Equity is the share of the pot a hand takes on average if every remaining card is dealt and nobody bets again. A tie splits the pot, so a hand that ties on some deals gets partial credit for them. In the Hi/Lo games (Omaha 8, Big O, PLO6 Hi/Lo and Stud 8) the high and low halves are each half the pot. If no hand makes a qualifying low (five different ranks, eight or lower, ace counts low), the high hand takes the whole pot. We work in pot share, so odd chips aren't modeled.

Exact or simulated. When we can count every possible deal in about a second, we do, and the page says “Exact.” When we can't, we deal a large number of random completions and report the average with a ± range. You see a simulated number first, then a refined one, then the exact answer if it fits. The ± is per player, at 95%. With three or more players, the chance that every range is right at once is a bit lower than that.

Same link, same numbers. Simulated results use a random seed taken from the cards you entered, so a shared link shows the same numbers on any device.

Unknown cards are random. The calculator doesn't know how anyone plays, so it can't model ranges. A hand with no cards entered is a random hand.

Games and rules

Omaha (4, 5 or 6 cards) uses exactly two hole cards and three board cards, in every game. Seven Card Stud seats at most 8. Enter each player's upcards and any downcards you know. Folded players hold two hidden cards that never come back, and their upcards go in Dead cards.

With 8 players, the deck can run out before 7th street. We follow the procedure in Robert's Rules of Poker and Colorado Gaming Rule 10: the burn cards go back with the stub, and one shared card is dealt to everyone only if there still aren't enough cards. Not every room does it this way. New Jersey's regulation, for example, deals a common card without returning the burns. If your game does, turn on the house-rule box to always use one shared 7th card.

How we tested it

Hand ranking was checked against the published counts for all 2,598,960 five-card hands and all 133,784,560 seven-card hands. Exact answers were checked against a second program, written separately in Python, that counts every deal by brute force, and against spots we worked out by hand, such as pocket aces against pocket kings (82.64% for the aces). The page itself is tested in a real browser. Last tested Oct 11, 2026. It's a tool we use, not a guarantee, so if you find a wrong number, tell us.

Privacy

The calculator runs entirely in your browser, in a background worker. It makes no requests while you use it, and we never receive the cards you enter. A shared link keeps the cards after the # sign, which browsers don't send to servers. We run no analytics. See our privacy page.
