Calculate the optimal chip breakdown for your home game. Enter the number of players and starting stack to get a perfect distribution of chip denominations.
Select at least 3-4 denominations for optimal distribution
Use 3-4 denominations: This provides flexibility without making chip management too complex.
Smallest chip = Big Blind: For tournaments, make your smallest chip equal to the starting big blind.
Color up later: Remove small denominations as blinds increase in tournaments.
Cash games: Use denominations that match your betting structure (e.g., $1/$2 game uses $1 and $5 chips).
This calculator provides a balanced distribution. Adjust based on your specific needs and available chip sets.
