About this calculator
Overview
The Elo rating system calculates relative skill levels in zero-sum games. Originally designed for chess, it's now used in many competitive games and sports. The system adjusts ratings based on expected vs actual outcomes.
💡
Pro Tips
Higher K-factors mean ratings change more quickly—use K=40 for new players.
A rating difference of 200 points means the higher-rated player has about 76% win probability.
Draws result in small rating changes unless there's a large rating gap between players.
