Roulette Payout Calculator Formula
The core formula for determining a roulette payout is straightforward and depends entirely on the odds of the chosen bet type:
Variables Explained
The calculation requires two primary variables, which correspond to the inputs in the calculator:
- Bet Amount: The total sum of money wagered on the chosen bet. This value must be positive.
- Payout Odds (Ratio): This is determined by the “Bet Type.” It represents how much you win for every dollar bet. For example, a 35:1 odds means the ratio is 35.

What is the Roulette Payout Calculator?
A Roulette Payout Calculator is an essential tool for players, providing clarity on the potential return on investment for any wager placed on the roulette table. Since roulette features a wide variety of bet types—ranging from low-risk, low-reward (like Red/Black at 1:1) to high-risk, high-reward (like Straight Up at 35:1)—this tool ensures players understand their expected winnings before the wheel is spun.
The calculator simply takes the amount a player is risking and multiplies it by the established odds for that particular bet type. It then clearly separates the “Net Winnings” (the profit) from the “Total Payout” (the profit plus the original stake), allowing for better bankroll management and strategy assessment.
How to Calculate Roulette Payout (Example)
Consider a $20 bet placed on a corner (4 numbers) on a European Roulette table. The established odds for a corner bet are 8:1.
- Determine Bet Amount: The amount wagered is $20.
- Determine Payout Ratio: The Payout Odds for a Corner bet are 8 to 1, so the ratio is 8.
- Calculate Net Winnings: Net Winnings = $20 (Bet Amount) $\times$ 8 (Ratio) = $160.
- Calculate Total Payout: Total Payout = $20 (Bet Amount) + $160 (Net Winnings) = $180.
- Conclusion: If the corner bet wins, the player receives a total of $180 (their original $20 back plus $160 in winnings).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The maximum payout for a single bet is 35:1, achieved by betting on a single number (Straight Up). If you bet $100 on a single number, your total payout would be $3,600.
Does this calculator use European or American odds?The payout ratios (35:1, 17:1, etc.) are the same for both European and American roulette. The difference between the two tables is the number of zeros (one zero for European, two zeros for American), which impacts the house edge, but not the specific payout for winning bets.
What does a 1:1 payout mean?A 1:1 payout means you win an amount equal to your bet. If you bet $50 on Red, you win $50 profit, and your total return is $100 (your $50 stake plus the $50 winnings).
Can I use this to calculate multiple bets?This calculator is designed for a single bet type at a time. To calculate total potential winnings for multiple simultaneous bets, you must calculate each bet separately and sum the results.
