Dice Probability Calculator
NewCalculate the exact probability of every possible sum when rolling any number of dice with any number of sides, using full combinatorial math rather than simulation.
This calculates the exact probability distribution via full combinatorial convolution — counting every possible outcome combination for every possible sum — not random simulation, so the percentages shown are mathematically exact, not approximations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this based on simulation or exact math?
Exact math — it computes a full convolution of the dice's possible outcomes (counting every combination that produces each possible sum), so the percentages shown are mathematically precise, not estimates from randomly simulating rolls.
Why does 7 have the highest probability with two standard dice?
There are more ways to combine two six-sided dice into a sum of 7 (1+6, 2+5, 3+4, 4+3, 5+2, 6+1 — six combinations) than any other sum, while extreme sums like 2 or 12 have only one possible combination each — this classic bell-curve shape is exactly what the probability table visualizes.
What is the maximum number of dice and sides supported?
Up to 10 dice and up to 100 sides per die — beyond that, the number of possible outcomes grows so large that the exact calculation becomes impractical to display usefully in a browser.
What does the "target sum" field calculate?
It shows the exact probability of your dice rolling to exactly that one specific sum, expressed as both a fraction (ways out of total possible outcomes) and a percentage.
Can I use this for games like Yahtzee, Catan, or tabletop RPGs?
Yes — it's useful for any game mechanic involving summed dice rolls, whether you're checking the odds of rolling a specific Catan resource-producing number or estimating how likely a particular RPG damage roll outcome is.
