> The pot odds calculator compares the cost of calling a bet with the size of the pot, and tells you the minimum equity (chance of winning) needed for the call to be profitable.

## Inputs

- Pot size before your call (incl. bet)
- Amount to call
- Outs (cards that win)
- Cards to come

## Results

- Required equity
- Pot odds
- Your approximate equity (rule of 2 and 4)

## Formula

```
Required equity = call ÷ (pot + call) × 100
```

## Explanation

If your chance of winning exceeds the required equity, calling is profitable in the long run.

### How to use the Poker Pot Odds Calculator

### What each result means

- **Pot odds** = [Pot size before your call (incl. bet)]÷[Amount to call]

### Example values

## Worked example

Inputs — Pot size before your call (incl. bet): 150; Amount to call: 50; Outs (cards that win): 9; Cards to come: One card (turn or river).

Results — **Required equity = 25 %**; Pot odds = 3 : 1; Your approximate equity (rule of 2 and 4) = 18 %.

## FAQ

**What is the rule of 2 and 4?**
Multiply outs by 2 with one card to come or by 4 with two to estimate equity.

**What about implied odds?**
Future bets you may win can justify calls with slightly less equity.

**What formula does the Poker Pot Odds Calculator use?**
Required equity = call ÷ (pot + call) × 100.
