Monopoly Liquidation Plan Calculator

📖 Overview

Use this calculator when you are short on cash to compute a practical liquidation sequence that covers the bill immediately.

Use these default and higher-pressure example inputs to explore how sensitive this calculator is before using your real numbers.

Builds a fast sell/mortgage plan to cover a required payment in the current turn.

The Formula

Shortfall = Needed Cash − Cash On Hand | Raise via house sales first, then mortgages

Cash Needed	Amount you must pay immediately
Cash On Hand	Current liquid cash before liquidation
House Sale Value	Cash recovered from selling one house
Mortgage Value	Cash recovered from mortgaging one property

💡This calculator is for real-time survival decisions. It gives a concrete minimum action plan, not a long-term strategy estimate.

Use this tool when you need a fast decision during active planning or execution.
Use this before committing money, time, or tradeoffs that are hard to reverse.
Use this to compare options using the same assumptions across scenarios.

Results can be misleading if key inputs are missing, stale, or unrealistic.
Very small or very large values may amplify rounding effects and interpretation risk.
If assumptions change mid-decision, recalculate before acting.

💡 Use legal sell values from your edition and house rules.

💡 Sell houses evenly across a color set when rule constraints apply.

💡 After payment is covered, stop liquidation to preserve board strength.

❓ Does this enforce even-building rules?

No, it computes cash math only; you still need legal board execution.

❓ What if house and mortgage values are both zero?

No valid liquidation path exists until you enter a usable value.
