Elo Rating Calculator illustration

Elo Rating Calculator

Computes the expected score between two Elo-rated players (1 / (1 + 10^((Rb−Ra)/400))) and the exact rating change for a win, draw or loss at your K-factor — the system used in chess and adapted everywhere from football rankings to matchmaking.

FIDE uses 40 for new players, 20 under 2400, 10 above.

Notes

  • A 100-point gap means the stronger player scores about 64%; 200 points about 76%; 400 points about 91%.
  • Elo is self-correcting: beating players you were expected to beat barely moves your rating.
  • Educational estimate for sport and training purposes, not professional coaching or medical advice.
