For a simplified $1-settlement contract, estimated contracts equal the amount divided by the price per contract. If the selected outcome settles at $1, estimated total returned equals the number of contracts; potential profit is total returned minus the original amount.

What the calculator estimates
Choose a market price in cents and an amount. The calculator shows the fractional contracts that amount could buy, the total returned if those contracts settle at $1 and the difference between that total and the amount used.
What it deliberately excludes
This educational model does not predict the outcome and does not quote an executable market. It excludes provider fees, bid-ask spread, slippage, order limits, partial fills, taxes and any contract-specific settlement terms.
Why the confirmed fill matters
A displayed market price can change before an order executes. Production calculations should use the confirmed fill price and quantity supplied by the approved operator.
Risk remains binary
If the chosen binary outcome settles at $0, the contracts return $0 and the amount used can be lost. A high implied probability does not guarantee the result.

Questions that matter.
How do I calculate prediction-market payout?
In a simple $1-settlement model, divide the amount by the contract price. If correct, multiply the resulting contract quantity by $1, then subtract the original amount to estimate profit before fees.
Does the calculator include fees?
No. Fees and execution rules differ by operator and must be shown from the approved production source.
Can I buy fractional contracts?
That depends on the operator. The calculator uses fractional quantities for explanation and should not be read as an executable quote.
Is the estimated return guaranteed?
No. It assumes the contract fills at the entered price and the selected outcome later settles at $1.
