Dice Probability Calculator

See the chance of rolling a certain total with two six-sided dice. Pick a total and the answer follows.

How it works

Two dice make 36 equally likely pairs. The total 7 can happen in 6 of them, while 2 and 12 happen in only 1, so each total is counted from its distance to 7.

The chance is the number of ways divided by 36, shown as a percent.

Worked example

On two dice, a total of 7 comes up in 6 of 36 rolls, a chance of 16.7%.

Questions

Which total is most likely?

Seven. It can come up six ways out of 36, more than any other total.

What about three dice?

This page covers two dice only.

Does one roll predict the next?

No. Each roll is separate. The chance describes the odds over many rolls, not the result of the next one.
