About Esports Prize Split Calculator

The organisation and staff shares are taken off the top, and the remainder is divided equally among the players on the roster. Because the cuts come off the gross, a 20% organisation share plus 5% for staff leaves each of five players with 15% rather than 20% of the prize.
