By using our rakeback calculator you will be able to gain a rough idea of much money you can earn each month from the poker room that you play with. There are several factors that you’ll need to estimate in order to be able to use the calculator which include the following.
- You need to choose the stakes that you generally play at and it’s important that you make sure you click whether the game is fixed limit or no limit as well as whether it’s a full ring table or short handed table.
- You need to choose how many tables you play at once so if you multi-table then make sure that you choose the correct amount of tables. Make sure you don’t exaggerate the amount of tables you play at once or else the calculations will be off.
- You need to choose how many hours you generally play in one day. If you play for 2 hours then make sure you click 2 hours and not 3-5 hours or else you’ll end up with the wrong numbers.
- You also need to choose the percentage of rakeback that you’re going to be receiving. Since every poker room offers a different percentage you’ll need to find out what percentage is available for the poker room that you want to play with.
*Calculator*
The above calculator will be able to calculate how much you should roughly make from playing cash games, but if you’re a tournament player then you’ll be able to do the calculations yourself really quickly. The rake in a tournament is the fee that you pay to play.
For instance, in a $10 tournament you’ll often pay a $1 fee which means if you were getting 30% rakeback from the poker room you’d receive $.30 back from the $1. This can add up for sit and go tournament players because often we’ll play multiple tables at once. If you we’re playing $50+$5 and you even had a 20% rakeback deal then you would receive $1 back of the fee for every tournament you play in. If you play 10-20 tournaments a day then that’s $10-$20 a day you could receive back which you currently aren’t without rakeback.
Calculating your rakeback is never going to give you an exact amount that you’re going to receive for numerous reasons. One of the reasons is because you probably won’t play the exact amount of hands or tournaments every single day. The other reason is because the calculator doesn’t calculate any of the fees or deductions that you might incur during the month. This means that the numbers will typically be higher when you’re using a calculator, but it will definitely give you an idea of how much you can earn each month.
