Uses 52 weeks ÷ 12 months. Additional monthly reward value is counted only if you enter it. All results are illustrations and are not a promise from a poker operator.
What this calculation includes
Weekly attributed rake is converted to a monthly average using 52 weeks divided by 12. The calculator excludes the percentage of fees you mark as ineligible, multiplies what remains by your assumed reward rate, and adds any separate monthly reward value you can actually use.
Try a conservative case
At $100 in weekly fees, 25% rewards and no exclusions, the monthly estimate is about $108.33. If 20% of rake is ineligible, that estimate becomes about $86.67. The difference comes from attribution and eligibility, not from a change in hands played.
What the calculator deliberately leaves out
A single percentage cannot model GGPoker GEM redemptions, PokerStars chest progression, CoinPoker leaderboards or different cash-game rake caps in detail. Enter a cash-equivalent reward rate based on your own account's actual terms. Do not treat a maximum advertised tier as your default payout.
Does rakeback improve your win rate?
Fee returns can improve net results after costs, but the calculator does not predict winnings. A player paying more rake to pursue a higher loyalty level may end up worse off. Compare the same game formats and realistic playing volume when testing two reward programs.
Read how rake is attributed, then review the room comparison for program differences.
Two figures to record from your account
The most useful input is attributed, eligible poker rake. A lobby may separately display total rake paid at the table, loyalty points and rewards redeemed. Keep those quantities in separate columns. The calculator assumes that your entered fee volume is reasonably stable; it does not guess future playing volume or returns from random prizes.
Interpreting a displayed effective percentage
Suppose you generate $400 of attributed fees in four weeks. A plan pays $48 in cash and gives you a tournament ticket you would have bought for $12. For your own records, the cash-equivalent return is $60 and the observed effective percentage is 15%. If that ticket is unusable, count $48 and the rate falls to 12%. This illustrates why a promotional face value and usable value may differ.

Formula and rounding
Estimated monthly rewards = (weekly attributed fees × 52 ÷ 12) × (1 − ineligible share) × reward rate + monthly cash-equivalent extras. The annual line multiplies that estimate by 12. This is a planning calculation; promotional minimums, chest progress and variable leaderboards cannot be represented by one smooth rate.
