DraftKings Pick6 payout calculator
Pick6 Base Payout is your entry amount times the sport and tier’s standard base multiplier times each selected pick multiplier, capped at the entry’s maximum. Prize-eligible lineups can also earn Extra Winnings when their standings-point share of the final prize pool exceeds the Base Payout. Rates and eligibility come from the actual contest.

Contest scenario
Defaults reproduce the published teaching example, not a universal payout table. Eligibility, base rates, caps, pool and final standings points come from the actual contest.
Calculated result
Base multiplier is unitless; standings points are points; payout, share and winnings are dollars. Pick6 is peer-to-peer. A multiplier is not an odds quote or a guaranteed payout.
The formula
Base multiplier = min(standard × product of active pick multipliers, cap). Standings points = entry × product of correct-pick multipliers. Extra = max(0, your share of prize pool − Base Payout).
Worked example
With a $1 entry, a standard base of 5 and pick multipliers 1, 1.2 and 1.3, Base Payout is $7.80 and standings points are 1.56. If total winning standings points are 156 and the pool is $10,000, the share is $100 and Extra Winnings are $92.20.

This is a teaching scenario, not a universal payout chart. The API does not supply standard base rates, caps or the final contest pool. After voids, enter the correct lower-tier rates. All or all-but-one picks void returns the entry.
