Bankroll & unit calculator

Translate a percentage of a chosen bankroll into one unit, then see the total exposure across simultaneous bets.

Enter only a discretionary amount you can afford to lose.
This is your chosen percentage, not a recommended stake.
Whole number of equal-stake bets open at once.

Your calculation

A worked example

With a $1,000 bankroll and a 1% unit, one unit is $10. Five simultaneous one-unit bets put $50 at risk, leaving $950 uncommitted. If all five lose, the bankroll falls to $950.

The math

One unit = bankroll × unit percentage ÷ 100. Total exposure = one unit × simultaneous bets. Uncommitted bankroll = bankroll − total exposure.

Common questions

What is one unit?

A unit is a consistent way to express stake size. Here it is the percentage you choose multiplied by the bankroll you enter. A unit is not a standard dollar amount or a promise of safety.

Does a smaller unit prevent losses?

No. Smaller stakes limit the amount risked per bet but do not change the chance of winning. Multiple bets can lose together, particularly when outcomes are related.

What does a negative uncommitted bankroll mean?

Your entered stakes exceed the bankroll. Reduce the unit percentage or number of simultaneous bets. The calculator displays the shortfall instead of silently hiding it.
