How to Use the Esports Prize Split Calculator
Enter the total prize pool and the percentage for each placement to instantly see how much each rank receives. Default percentages match common professional esports distributions.
How It Works
Prize per placement = Total pool × (placement % ÷ 100). Percentages must add up to 100% for an accurate split. A warning is shown if the total deviates by more than 0.5%.
Common Distribution Structures
Top 3: 50/30/20% · Top 4: 45/25/17/13% · Top 8: 30/20/13/11/9/7/6/4%. These reflect typical pro esports structures, though organizers adjust based on sponsorship and format.
