What the product represents
Kalshi's official combo guide defines payout as the product of component settlement values. Those values can be binary or scalar under their individual rules. This tool follows that product formula for the values you enter.
The default example
The invented values 1, 0.6 and 1 give $0.60 per contract. For 100 contracts, gross payout is $60. An entry at 25¢ costs $25, and $2 of total entry fees brings cost to $27. The scenario net is $33. Any zero component makes gross payout zero; three values of 1 produce the $100 maximum gross payout.
Settlement values are different from probabilities
A forecast assigning 60% to an outcome is not a final settlement value of $0.60. Use a value of 0.6 here only to model a position that settles at that scalar value. Multiplying probability estimates requires an independence or conditional model and answers a different question.
Use the contract's actual rules
The calculator cannot determine how a player non-participation, cancellation or disputed outcome resolves. Read the Kalshi combos guide and preserve the rules for each selected position. Use final values from the venue when reconciling an actual settlement.
