About

Fair loot distribution is the cornerstone of a healthy guild or adventuring party. Whether you are dividing the hoard of an Ancient Red Dragon in D&D or splitting the auction house proceeds from a Mythic raid in WoW, precision is mandatory. Disputes over ±1 gold coin can shatter alliances.

This tool addresses the complex reality of loot economics: Liquidity vs. Assets. When a player claims a physical item (e.g., a sword worth $1000), that value must be deducted from their liquid share of the gold pot. If the item's value exceeds their share, they incur a Debt to the party. This calculator automates these ledger balances, incorporates role-based weighted shares (e.g., Main Tank ×2), and applies Guild Taxes before distribution.

Formulas

The core algorithm balances the Total Equity of the raid (Cash + Asset Value) against the Total Shares generated by player weights.

Net Gold = Gtotal × (1 Tax%)

Total Equity = Net Gold + nj=1 Vitemj

Share Value = Total Equitymi=1 Wplayeri

Payouti = (Share Value × Wi) Vitems_taken_by_i

Where G is Gold, W is Weight (Share count), and V is Value. A negative Payout indicates the player owes gold to the pot.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tool calculates a negative payout. This means the player owes gold to the pot to "buy out" the item. This ensures the total value distributed remains equal among all members.
Use the "Weight" input next to each player. Set standard players to 1.0, and assign 1.5 or 2.0 to specialized roles. The calculator automatically adjusts the "Share Value" based on the total sum of weights.
No. By standard convention, tax is applied only to raw liquid currency (Gold/Silver) looted. Item values are considered assets already distributed. The tax is deducted from the "Total Gold" before the equity calculation begins.
Yes. The "Copy Discord Summary" button generates a pre-formatted Markdown code block that aligns columns and highlights debts, ready to paste directly into your guild channel.
