AI overlay calculator: how much of the prize pool the site is covering

DFS overlay calculator: when a guaranteed contest does not fill, the site covers the shortfall. See the overlay in dollars and what it adds to your entry.

Entry fee ($) Max entries Entries so far Guaranteed prize pool ($)

Nothing is worked out until you tap. Five runs a day, unlimited with a Velvet seat.

How it works

A guaranteed prize pool is paid whether or not the contest fills. The gap between the guarantee and the entry fees collected is overlay: value the site, not the field, is paying.

About the DFS overlay calculator

Overlay happens when a guaranteed contest does not fill: the site still pays the full prize pool, so every entry is worth more than its fee. Enter the guarantee, the entry fee and the entries so far, and the calculator shows the overlay in dollars and the value each entry gets from it.

When does overlay usually show up?

Late before lock, in large guaranteed contests that have not filled.
