Use an ICM calculator to compare tournament prize equity

Enter the stacks of 2–9 remaining players and the payouts in the ICM calculator to compare expected tournament prizes. With stacks of 5,000, 3,000 and 2,000 and payouts of 50%, 30% and 20%, the chip leader holds 50% of chips but about 38.39% of the prizes. Enter all remaining payouts.

What the model considers

ICM assumes equal skill and uses only the remaining stacks and payouts. It does not calculate hand odds, blinds, position or bounties.

Read prize equity on the bubble and at a final table

On a four-player bubble with three paid places, enter zero for fourth. At a final table, the same stacks can produce different prize equity under different payout structures. The result estimates expected prizes under the entered payouts; use a separate strategy analysis for an all-in or call decision.
