What a PKO bounty is worth, in chips
In a progressive knockout half of every bounty you win is paid in cash and half goes on your own head. To decide a call you need that cash as chips — how many depends on the room's payouts, how deep the tournament is and how many chips are in play. Kohunter does that conversion in seconds.
Fast mode: no screenshot needed
Pick the room and buy-in, type the field size, the players left and the bounty shown at the table. Fast mode already knows each room's payout structure for that field, so it knows how much of the prize pool is still to be paid at any stage — ITM included — and gives the KO value straight away. Scroll on any number to step it as the tournament moves.
Precise mode, late in a tournament
A tournament lobby, drawn without names. 1: the whole lobby. 2: the players list must reach the last player still in.
- 1Paste the lobbyWin+Shift+S (or Ctrl+Cmd+Shift+4 on a Mac), then Ctrl+V anywhere on the page. No need to fill anything first: the room, format, buy-in, entrants, players left and payouts are read from the screenshot.
- 2Every alive player's bounty must be in itPrecise mode sums the bounties still in play, so the players list has to show everyone left. Enlarge the lobby, or take the rest of the list in a second screenshot — its rows are merged in, not swapped.
- 3Read the exact valueThe result turns orange when it goes stale: a screenshot over 15 minutes old, or busted players still in the list. Paste a new screenshot and it's exact again.
Good to know
- Enter the bounty exactly as the room shows it at the table — on rooms that display the half you'd win, that half; the calculator knows which rooms do.
- GG $500+ tournaments hand out bonus chips: enter the average stack shown in the lobby.
- Early and mid tournament, fast mode is the right tool: no screenshot can show hundreds of bounties, and the payouts decide most of the value anyway.
Does fast mode work in the money?
Yes. It models the room's payout table for your field size, so it knows how much money is still to be paid at every stage, bubble and ITM included.
When is precise mode worth it?
Deep, when the whole field fits in one or two screenshots and a few big bounties are concentrated on a few stacks.
