⚙️ 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.

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.
