📖 Overview
Use this calculator at the table to resolve utility rent immediately after a roll.
🧪 Example Scenarios
Use these default and higher-pressure example inputs to explore how sensitive this calculator is before using your real numbers.
| Input | Base Case | Higher Pressure Case |
|---|---|---|
| Utilities Owned | 1 | 1.15 |
| Dice Total | 7 | 8.05 |
⚙️ How It Works
Calculates exact utility rent from dice total and utilities owned by the landlord.
The Formula
Rent = Dice Total × 4 (one utility) or Dice Total × 10 (two utilities)
💡This calculator is scenario-based. Better input quality leads to better decision quality.
Quick Reference
| Dice total | 1 utility | 2 utilities |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | $16 | $40 |
| 7 | $28 | $70 |
| 10 | $40 | $100 |
| 12 | $48 | $120 |
When To Use This
- 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.
Edge Cases To Watch
- 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.
Practical Tips
💡 Enter the actual dice total rolled for that move.
💡 Use utilities owned = 2 when the owner has both utilities.
💡 Run a best-case, base-case, and worst-case scenario before deciding.
💡 Use recent real values, not ideal assumptions, for better accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can dice total be outside 2-12?
For standard two-dice movement, no.
❓ Does card-driven movement change the formula?
No, utility rent still uses the dice total for that rent calculation.
