Odds Payout Calculator

Odds Payout Calculator

Understanding potential payouts is crucial for anyone engaging in sports betting or other forms of wagering. Our Odds Payout Calculator helps you quickly determine how much you stand to win based on your stake and the given fractional odds. This tool simplifies the math, allowing you to make informed decisions.

What are Fractional Odds?

Fractional odds, often seen in the UK and Ireland, represent the profit you'll receive relative to your stake. They are displayed as two numbers separated by a slash, for example, 5/1 (read as "five to one") or 10/3 (read as "ten to three").

• Numerator (first number): This indicates the amount of profit you will win.
• Denominator (second number): This indicates the amount you need to stake to win the profit shown by the numerator.

For instance, if the odds are 5/1, it means for every $1 you stake, you will win $5 in profit. Your total return would be your original $1 stake plus the $5 profit, totaling $6.

If the odds are 10/3, it means for every $3 you stake, you will win $10 in profit. Your total return would be your original $3 stake plus the $10 profit, totaling $13.

How the Calculation Works

The calculator uses a straightforward formula to determine your potential profit and total payout:

1. Calculate Profit: Divide your Stake Amount by the Odds Denominator, then multiply the result by the Odds Numerator.
   Profit = (Stake Amount / Odds Denominator) × Odds Numerator
2. Calculate Total Payout: Add your calculated Profit to your original Stake Amount.
   Total Payout = Stake Amount + Profit

Example Scenario

Let's say you want to place a bet of $25 on an event with odds of 7/2.

• Stake Amount: $25
• Odds Numerator: 7
• Odds Denominator: 2

Using the formulas:

1. Profit: ($25 / 2) × 7 = $12.50 × 7 = $87.50
2. Total Payout: $25 (Stake) + $87.50 (Profit) = $112.50

So, with a $25 stake at 7/2 odds, your potential profit is $87.50, and your total payout would be $112.50.

Use the Calculator Below:

function calculatePayout() { var stakeAmount = parseFloat(document.getElementById('stakeAmount').value); var oddsNumerator = parseFloat(document.getElementById('oddsNumerator').value); var oddsDenominator = parseFloat(document.getElementById('oddsDenominator').value); var resultDiv = document.getElementById('result'); if (isNaN(stakeAmount) || stakeAmount <= 0) { resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter a valid Stake Amount greater than zero."; return; } if (isNaN(oddsNumerator) || oddsNumerator <= 0) { resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter a valid Odds Numerator greater than zero."; return; } if (isNaN(oddsDenominator) || oddsDenominator <= 0) { resultDiv.innerHTML = "Please enter a valid Odds Denominator greater than zero."; return; } var profit = (stakeAmount / oddsDenominator) * oddsNumerator; var totalPayout = stakeAmount + profit; resultDiv.innerHTML = "Potential Profit: $" + profit.toFixed(2) + "" + "Total Payout: $" + totalPayout.toFixed(2) + ""; }
