About this calculator

Prize money rarely lands the way the bracket says. Apply the organization's cut, staff shares, and tax withholding to see what each player actually receives.

FormulaPlayer share = (prize × (1 − org cut) × (1 − staff share)) ÷ roster size × (1 − tax).

FAQ

Are prize winnings taxed at the event's location?

Often yes, with withholding at source, and you may owe additional tax at home depending on treaties. Cross-border prize money is a genuinely complicated area.

Is a 20% org cut standard?

It ranges from 0% at player-first orgs to 30%+ where the org covers salaries, travel, and facilities year-round.

Accuracy and limitations

  • Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
  • Rates are treated as fixed for the whole period — variable-rate products will drift from this projection.
  • This is educational maths, not financial advice. Check anything contractual with the lender or your accountant.
