Which poker calculator do you need?
A poker calculator is any tool that turns a poker question into a number. There's no single "poker calculator". There are fourteen distinct ones on this page, each answering a different question. The calculator you need depends on what you're trying to figure out: is your hand ahead, are you getting the right price, can you afford to play these stakes, will your tournament structure work? This page is the hub. Pick the right tool below and skip the trial-and-error of finding one elsewhere.
All fourteen tools on this site are free, no sign-up required, and use the same engines that power the PokerLog mobile app. The Hand Calculator runs exhaustive enumeration for flop/turn/river equity (100% exact) and a precomputed lookup table for preflop heads-up. The Variance Simulator runs 1,000 Monte Carlo trajectories per session to model your downswings. The Pot Odds, EV, Outs, Bankroll, and Rake calculators all use standard mathematical formulas with no approximations. Bookmark this page — the entire toolkit fits on one screen.

Why Use Poker Tools?
Winning poker is built on math. Every decision at the table — whether to call, raise, or fold — has a mathematically correct answer based on your equity, pot odds, and expected value. These free tools help you learn and internalize the math so you can make better decisions faster.
Use the Hand Calculator to study equity matchups for any scenario — preflop through river, up to 9 players. Pair it with the Pot Odds Calculator to see whether you're getting the right price to call, and the Outs Calculator to know your exact probability of hitting a draw.
The EV Calculator ties it all together by showing whether a play is profitable long-term. And the Preflop Hand Rankings chart gives you a visual reference for which hands to play from every position.
Beyond the table, use the Bankroll Calculator to make sure you're properly rolled for your stakes, and the Variance Simulator to understand the swings you can expect. The Rake Calculator compares costs across poker sites, while the Hand Rankings and Glossary are perfect for beginners learning the game. Running a home tournament? The Blind Timer keeps the game moving with auto-advancing levels.
How the Tools Work Together
Preflop: Check the Preflop Chart to decide whether to enter the hand based on your position. If you're unsure about a specific matchup, plug both hands into the Hand Calculator for exact equity numbers.
Postflop draws: Use the Outs Calculator to count your outs and see the probability of hitting on the turn or river. Then check the Pot Odds Calculator to see if the price your opponent is offering makes the call profitable.
Tough decisions: When facing a big bet, use the EV Calculator to model the expected value. Enter your estimated win probability, the pot size, what you stand to win, and what you'd lose. If the EV is positive, calling is profitable over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
›Are these poker tools really free?
Yes, every tool is 100% free with no limitations. There's no sign-up, no ads, and no premium tier. You get the same calculation engines that power the PokerLog mobile app.
›Which poker tool should I start with?
Start with the Hand Calculator to understand equity — it's the foundation of every poker decision. Then use Pot Odds to learn when to call, Outs to count your draw probabilities, and EV to evaluate whether a play is profitable long-term. The Preflop Chart helps you learn which hands to play from each position. Use the Bankroll Calculator and Variance Simulator to manage your money off the table.
›How accurate are these calculators?
The Hand Calculator uses exhaustive enumeration for flop/turn/river (100% exact) and a precomputed lookup table for preflop heads-up (effectively exact). Pot Odds, Outs, and EV calculators use standard mathematical formulas that produce exact results every time.
›Do these tools work on mobile?
Yes, all tools are fully responsive and work on phones, tablets, and desktops. The interfaces are optimized for touch input with appropriately sized buttons and numeric keyboards on mobile devices.
›How do pot odds and equity work together?
Pot odds tell you how much equity you need to call profitably. If the pot is $100 and you need to call $50, you're getting 2:1 pot odds, which means you need at least 33% equity. Use the Hand Calculator to find your equity, then check it against the Pot Odds Calculator to see if a call is profitable.
›What's the most accurate poker calculator?
For hand equity, the most accurate calculator is one that uses exhaustive enumeration of all possible runouts — which is what our Hand Calculator does for flop, turn, and river situations. Preflop heads-up uses precomputed lookup tables that are effectively 100% accurate. The Pot Odds, Outs, and EV calculators use exact mathematical formulas with no approximations. The Variance Simulator uses Monte Carlo simulation, which approaches exact within a few hundred samples. There's no meaningful precision difference between this site and pay-only equity calculators like PokerStove or Equilab — the math is the math.
›Can I use a poker calculator while playing online?
Yes for off-table tools (bankroll, variance, EV calculators) — there's nothing in any major site's terms of service that prohibits running them in another tab between hands. For on-table real-time tools (HUD-style equity overlays), most online poker sites prohibit them outright. Our Pot Odds and EV calculators are fast enough to use during a long tank, but using them mid-decision is on the edge of what most sites allow. When in doubt, use them between sessions for study, not at the table.
›Do I need a poker calculator to win at poker?
No, but you'll progress faster with one. Strong intuitive players develop the math instincts over thousands of hands and can ballpark pot odds, equity, and EV in real time without a calculator. Calculators accelerate this process by giving you exact answers during off-table study, which builds the pattern library your in-game intuition pulls from. Use them as study tools — run common spots through the calculators dozens of times until the answers are second-nature, then trust your instincts at the table.
