Yahtzee scoring calculator: score every category fast

Two rules layer on top of that table, and both trip up players mid-game. The upper section pays an extra 35 points once its six boxes total 63 or more, in any combination. And once your Yahtzee box already holds a score, every additional Yahtzee you roll later pays a 100-point bonus, but only after that roll lands in the right box: if the matching upper-section box is still open, it has to be filled first, at its normal value. Only once that box is taken can the extra Yahtzee go into an open lower-section category instead, scoring it the normal way. Getting that order backward is the single most common scoring mistake at the table, which is exactly why this calculator enforces it automatically rather than leaving it to memory. These figures match Yahtzee's current published scoring table, cross-checked against the same sources behind the main rules guide. For the complete rulebook behind these numbers, see the full Yahtzee rules and scoring table.

Enter the 5 dice from your final roll of the turn. The calculator checks them against every category you haven't filled yet and shows what each open box would score for that exact roll, including whether the dice qualify for full house, either straight, or a Yahtzee at all. Pick the box you want, and it locks in the score and adds it to your running total.

If your Yahtzee box already has a nonzero score and you roll another five-of-a-kind, the calculator flags it as a bonus Yahtzee and applies the 100 points on top of whatever category you use the roll for. It also enforces the box-priority rule for you: if the matching upper-section box is still open, that's the only option offered first. Once it's filled, the tool opens up the lower-section categories instead. Across all 13 boxes, the calculator keeps a live scorecard, adds the upper bonus the moment the section crosses 63, and shows your total against every other player at the table.

Say a player already scored a Yahtzee earlier in the game, in a turn that landed on five 2s, recorded for 50 points. Several turns later, on a fresh roll, they get 3-3-3-3-3, a second Yahtzee. The calculator adds the 100-point bonus right away. But their Threes box is still open, so the tool only offers Threes first, scoring 3 × 5 = 15 points for that box, not a free choice of any lower-section category yet.

Two rounds later, they roll 6-6-6-6-6 for a third Yahtzee. This time their Sixes box is already filled from an earlier turn, so the calculator opens up the lower section instead. They choose Full house, which pays its normal flat 25 points, on top of another 100-point bonus. Across those two extra Yahtzees, that's 15 + 100 + 25 + 100 = 240 points from bonus rolls alone, not counting the original 50.
