In Game Economy Prize Pool Split Calculator

Split an in-game economy reward pool after an optional token burn or treasury holdback. Set the total pool, deduction, first- and second-place shares, and number of additional winners. The calculator keeps all shares tied to the distributable pool and divides the remainder equally, making the payout plan easy to audit before publishing.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the scenario inputs using one consistent period and unit basis.
  2. Check probability, rate, or capacity assumptions against current data.
  3. Select Calculate to update the main result and supporting metrics.
  4. Change one assumption at a time to compare scenarios.

Formula

Distributable pool = total pool × (1 − deduction rate)
Each additional award = [distributable pool − first award − second award] ÷ additional winners

What the result means

The main result is the amount available to winners after the stated deduction. Placement percentages apply to that distributable amount, not the original pool.

Confirm the published rules, rounding policy, legal requirements, and tax treatment before paying prizes.

Example calculation

A 100,000-token pool with a 5% deduction leaves 95,000 tokens to distribute.

Tips for better results

  • Publish whether percentages apply before or after deductions.
  • Choose a rounding rule before allocating indivisible units.
  • Verify that placement shares total no more than 100%.
  • Reserve disputed or disqualified awards outside this model.
  • Keep a final payout ledger for reconciliation.

Frequently asked questions

Do placement shares apply before or after the deduction?

They apply to the distributable pool after the deduction.

What if first- and second-place shares total more than 100%?

The calculator rejects the inputs because they would create a negative remainder.

How is the remaining prize pool divided?

After the top two awards, the entire remainder is divided equally among the additional winners.

Can the total reward pool be zero?

Yes. Every award will then be zero, which can help validate a draft payout structure.

Does this calculator handle payout rounding rules?

It displays up to two decimals. Apply your published whole-unit or currency rounding rule before final payment.
