Pot Odds Calculator
Pot odds are the price the pot is offering on your call: the ratio of what you can win to what you must risk. Enter the pot and the bet you're facing — the calculator returns your odds and the exact equity your hand needs to break even, with instant verdicts for every common draw. Free, no signup.
Draw verdicts assume you see both cards; facing more betting on the turn, use the one-card numbers on the outs chart.

Pot odds by bet size (reference table)
These seven numbers cover almost every bet you'll face. Memorize the break-even column and you can skip the math at the table.
| Bet size | Pot odds | Equity needed to call |
|---|---|---|
| ⅓ pot | 4.0 : 1 | 20% |
| ½ pot | 3.0 : 1 | 25% |
| ⅔ pot | 2.5 : 1 | 28.6% |
| ¾ pot | 2.3 : 1 | 30% |
| Full pot | 2.0 : 1 | 33.3% |
| 1.5× pot | 1.7 : 1 | 37.5% |
| 2× pot | 1.5 : 1 | 40% |
How do you use pot odds in a real hand?
Three steps. First, get the price: pot after the bet ÷ your call. Second, estimate your equity — count outs and use the outs chart, or the equity calculator off-table. Third, compare: equity above the break-even number is a call, below is a fold — before implied odds, which nudge close spots toward calling when stacks are deep and your draw is hidden.
The classic beginner mistake isn't doing this math wrong — it's not doing it at all: calling "to see one more card" at a price that loses money every single time. A half-pot bet needs 25% equity. A gutshot has 16.5%. That call, repeated for years, is a leak with a name — the free 2-minute leak quiz can tell you if it's one of yours.
Pot odds FAQ
What are pot odds in poker?
Pot odds are the ratio between what's already in the pot and what you must pay to continue. If the pot is $150 after your opponent bets $50, you're calling $50 to win $150 — 3-to-1 pot odds. They tell you how often your call needs to win to break even: at 3-to-1 you need to win more than 25% of the time.
How do you calculate pot odds?
Divide the total pot after the bet by the amount you must call. For the break-even percentage, divide your call by the final pot if you call: call ÷ (pot + bet + call). Facing a $50 bet into a $100 pot: 50 ÷ (100 + 50 + 50) = 25% — your hand needs at least 25% equity to call profitably.
What pot odds do you need to call with a flush draw?
A flush draw (9 outs) wins about 35% of the time with two cards to come and about 19% with one card. Against a bet you'll see through the river, you need better than roughly 1.9-to-1; if you'll face another bet on the turn, use the one-card number, which needs about 4.3-to-1 — better odds than most bets offer, which is why calling big turn bets on a bare flush draw usually loses money.
What are implied odds?
Implied odds add the money you expect to win on later streets when you hit. A call that's slightly wrong on raw pot odds can be right if your hand is disguised and your opponent will pay you off. They're an estimate, not a number a calculator can verify — the honest rule is to be conservative: shallow stacks or an obvious draw mean small implied odds.
Are pot odds different for calling all-ins?
No — an all-in is the cleanest case, since there are no future streets and implied odds are zero. Divide your call by the final pot and compare it against your hand's real equity (an equity calculator gives that). If your equity beats the break-even number, call.
