Yes — there are multiple calculator tools made by the Balatro community that let you input hands, jokers, upgrades and get a precise score breakdown. The most prominent is the open‑source EFHIII Balatro Calculator (live web app and GitHub repo), which is designed to show the best play and exact chip/mult breakdown for a given hand and joker setup (EFHIII web tool / EFHIII GitHub).
If you want alternatives or extra features, community sites offer similar utilities and optimizers. Useful options include:
- balatrocalc.com — a browser calculator with joker optimization and hand-level settings.
- Balatro HQ tools — score calculator plus seed/analysis tools and documentation.
- Community mods and previewer projects (see the EFHIII GitHub and related Reddit threads) if you prefer an offline/mod integration.
A quick heads-up: these are community projects and occasionally lag behind game updates or have edge-case bugs, so double‑check tricky joker interactions in‑game. For the most accurate, up‑to‑date behavior consult the tool’s GitHub/issues page or the Balatro community threads before relying on a calculation for a high‑stakes run.
