Balatro Joker calculator
Evaluate supported Joker effects and scoring order; inspect real worked examples.
What can this calculator compare?
Enter a supported Joker configuration, evaluate a hand, then change the rack and recompute. Separate side-by-side build comparison is planned. Unsupported names and custom descriptions remain editable but cannot be used as trusted scoring definitions.
Four Fingers changes hand classification
Four Fingers changes the supported hand classification threshold for straights and flushes. These four hearts become a flush worth 300 chips at default hand levels. This example evaluates the immediate scoring effect only; it is not advice to buy the Joker.

Scope and trust
Supported model: 20 validated Jokers, 150 catalog names; exact analysis accepts 1–8 hand cards, 0–12 draw cards, 1–2 hands and 0–2 discards. Uniform replacement draws and optimal continuation are assumed. Unsupported boss, consumable, shop, history and scaling effects are rejected. No standalone sampled full-deck advice. Card order is optimized; Joker slot order is preserved.
