Riichi mahjong score calculator

Enter the han and fu of a Japanese riichi mahjong hand, say whether the winner is the dealer and whether it was a ron or a self-draw, and see the points. Limit hands from mangan up to yakuman are applied, and every payment is rounded up to 100.

Used for 1 to 4 han. Rounded up to the next 10; 25 (seven pairs) stays 25. From 5 han up, fu does not matter.
Each honba adds 300 points on a ron, or 100 from each player on a tsumo.

How to use it

  1. Enter the han of the hand and its fu (fu is ignored from 5 han up).
  2. Choose dealer or non-dealer and ron or tsumo.
  3. Add honba if there are any. Read the total and the individual payments.

Formula

  • Base points = fu × 2^(han + 2), at most 2000.
  • Ron: non-dealer 4 × base, dealer 6 × base.
  • Tsumo: non-dealer winner is paid 2 × base by the dealer and 1 × base by each other player; a dealer winner is paid 2 × base by each player.
  • Every payment is rounded up to the next 100. Fu is rounded up to the next 10 (25 stays).

Worked examples

  • 3 han 30 fu, non-dealer, ron: base 30 × 2^5 = 960, times 4 is 3,840, rounded up 3,900.
  • 4 han 30 fu, non-dealer, ron: base 1,920, times 4 is 7,680, rounded up 7,700. By tsumo the dealer pays 3,900 and the others 2,000 each, for 7,900 in total.
  • 2 han 20 fu, non-dealer, tsumo: base 320; the dealer pays 700 (640 rounded up), the others 400 each, for 1,500.
  • 5 han, dealer, ron: mangan, 2,000 × 6 = 12,000.

Tips

  • Some fu and han combinations cannot occur in practice, such as a 20 fu ron; the tool still calculates them.
  • Riichi sticks on the table go to the winner on top of these points and are not counted here.

Frequently asked questions

How are mahjong points calculated from han and fu?

Base points are fu × 2^(han + 2). A non-dealer winning by ron receives 4 × base, a dealer receives 6 × base, and each payment is rounded up to the next 100. On a tsumo a non-dealer is paid 2 × base by the dealer and 1 × base by each of the others, a dealer is paid 2 × base by each player.

Where do the limits start?

Base points are capped at 2000, which is mangan. That cap is reached at 5 han, or at 4 han with 40 fu or more, or 3 han with 70 fu or more. 6 to 7 han is haneman (3000 base), 8 to 10 baiman (4000), 11 to 12 sanbaiman (6000) and 13 han or more counts as yakuman (8000 base).

Does the tool include yakuman from special hands?

A hand made of a yakuman yaku such as thirteen orphans is worth 8000 base, so enter 13 han. Double yakuman and the other optional rules are not calculated; multiply by hand if your table plays them.

What about rounding mangan at 30 fu 4 han?

This calculator does not round up 30 fu 4 han or 60 fu 3 han to mangan, so it shows 7,700 and 7,700 respectively for a non-dealer ron. Some tables play that optional rule, called kiriage mangan.

What is honba?

Honba are repeat counters added after a dealer win or a draw. Each one adds 300 points to a ron, or 100 from each of the three losers on a tsumo, on top of the hand value.
