How to Calculate Your Poker Rakeback Earnings

## Step-by-Step Rakeback Calculation Knowing exactly how much rakeback you earn — and could earn at a different room — is essential for making informed decisions about where to play. ## Understanding Your Hourly Rake Your hourly rake depends on stakes, format, and table count. At NL50, expect $6-10 per table per hour. At NL100, expect $10-15. PLO generates 30-50% more. Multiply by your number of tables for total hourly rake. ## Monthly Rake Formula Monthly Rake = (Hourly Rake per Table) x (Number of Tables) x (Hours per Day) x (Days per Month). Example: $8 x 4 tables x 3 hours x 20 days = $1,920/month in rake. ## Applying Rakeback Percentage Multiply your monthly rake by the rakeback percentage at your room. $1,920 at 33% (CoinPoker) = $634. At 50% (GGPoker Dolphin) = $960. At 27% (ACR fixed) = $518. The difference between best and worst is $442/month or $5,300/year. ## Factoring in Tier Requirements Some rooms require minimum volume to reach higher tiers. Calculate whether the extra play needed to hit a tier is worth the rakeback increase. If reaching the next tier requires $500 in additional rake but only pays $200 more in rakeback, it is not worth the push. ## Using Our Rakeback Calculator Our rakeback calculator automates all of these calculations. Enter your stakes, table count, hours, and it compares your expected earnings across all major rooms. Use it before every room decision to ensure you are maximizing your value.
