About this tool

The Yahtzee Scorer & Odds Calculator takes any five-dice roll and scores it across all thirteen Yahtzee categories at once, then flags the category that earns the most points. Enter the five dice (1–6) and it evaluates the upper section and every combination live in your browser — no sign-in, nothing uploaded.

Scoring follows standard rules. The upper section (Aces through Sixes) scores the sum of dice showing that face. Three- and Four-of-a-Kind score the total of all five dice when you have at least three or four matching. A Full House is 25, a Small Straight (four in a row) is 30, a Large Straight (five in a row) is 40, and a Yahtzee (five alike) is 50. Chance is the sum of all dice, and the upper-section bonus adds 35 if your upper total reaches 63. The tool lists every category's score and marks the best pick with a star.

It also shows the single-roll probabilities for a fair set of five dice (7,776 equally likely outcomes): a Yahtzee is 6/7776 ≈ 0.077%, a Large Straight 240/7776 ≈ 3.09%, a Small Straight about 1920/7776 ≈ 24.7%, a Full House 300/7776 ≈ 3.86%, and Four-of-a-Kind 150/7776 ≈ 1.93%. With the usual keep-and-reroll strategy over three rolls, the chance of landing a Yahtzee rises to roughly 4.6%.

Frequently asked questions

How are Three- and Four-of-a-Kind scored?
When at least three (or four) dice match, the category scores the sum of all five dice — not just the matching ones. If the requirement is not met, it scores 0. That is why a 6-6-6-2-1 Three-of-a-Kind scores 21, the total of every die.
Does a Yahtzee also count as a Full House or straight?
In standard scoring this tool treats a five-of-a-kind as a Yahtzee (50) only; it is not scored as a Full House or straight. Optional 'Joker' house rules that let a bonus Yahtzee fill other categories are not applied here.
How likely is a Yahtzee in one roll?
Exactly 6 of the 7,776 equally likely five-dice outcomes are five-of-a-kind, so a single roll gives a Yahtzee with probability 6/7776 ≈ 0.077%. Across three rolls keeping your best dice, the optimal chance climbs to about 4.6%.
What is the upper-section bonus?
If the sum of your Aces-through-Sixes boxes reaches 63 or more, you earn a 35-point bonus. Sixty-three equals an average of three of each face. The tool shows your running upper-section total so you can track it toward the bonus.
