How Does the Super Bowl Squares Payout Calculator Work?
The Super Bowl squares payout calculator multiplies the cost per square by the squares filled to get the total collected. It then takes the share paid as prizes and divides that prize pot across the 4 quarters, using the split you pick.
Example: 100 squares at $5 collect $500. With the whole pot paid as prizes and an even split, each quarter pays $125.
Which Payout Splits are in the Calculator?
The Super Bowl squares payout calculator has 4 ready splits and a custom option. The ready splits are the ones most groups use, and the custom option lets you type your own 4 percentages, which should add up to 100%.
| Split | 1st quarter | Halftime | 3rd quarter | Final |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Even | 25% | 25% | 25% | 25% |
| Bigger final | 20% | 20% | 20% | 40% |
| Halftime and final | 12.5% | 25% | 12.5% | 50% |
| Final only | 0% | 0% | 0% | 100% |
How do You Use the Calculator for a Fundraiser?
Use the Super Bowl squares payout calculator for a fundraiser by lowering the “Share paid as prizes” box. At 50%, half of the money collected becomes the prize pot and the calculator shows the other half as kept for the cause.
Example: 100 squares at $10 collect $1,000. At a 50% prize share, the pot is $500 and $500 goes to the cause. The Super Bowl squares fundraiser guide has the full steps.
What if not All the Squares are Filled?
If not all the squares are filled, enter the real number in “Squares filled” and the Super Bowl squares payout calculator lowers every prize to match. With 80 squares at $5, the total collected is $400, not $500.
Tell your group the final prizes before kickoff. An unclaimed prize on an empty square usually rolls over to the next quarter, as the Super Bowl squares rules page explains.
Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for February 14, 2027. The NFL’s Super Bowl page has the official game details.
