Why settlement gets messy
Home games often have rebuys, partial cash-outs, and players leaving at different times. A settlement calculator turns those totals into a clean list of transfers.

FAQ
Questions about poker settlement calculator
01
How do I calculate poker settlement?
Subtract each player's total buy-in from their final cash-out or stack value. Winners receive money and losing players pay until every net result balances.
02
What if the totals do not balance?
Check missing rebuys, rounding, unpaid buy-ins, or a final stack that was entered incorrectly.
03
Does PokerChip.live move money?
No. It only calculates and displays chip and score information. Players settle privately outside the app.
04
Can I use this for cash games?
Yes. Settlement calculators are most useful for cash-style home games with buy-ins and cash-outs.
05
Can this handle more than 8 players?
The calculator page can model larger groups, while live PokerChip.live rooms are optimized for standard home tables.
