How to use this calculator

  1. Enter or choose score left.
  2. The one checkout route updates as you type. Use Copy result or Share to keep it.

Method

Search every combination of up to two set-up darts (S1–S20, 25, T1–T20, D1–D20, Bull) followed by a double (D1–D20 or Bull = 50) whose total equals the score; report the one with the fewest darts.

S, D, T
single, double and treble of a segment
25, Bull
outer bull (25) and bullseye (50, which counts as a double)

Worked example

  1. No single dart or two darts can make 170 (the most two darts can score while finishing on a double is 110).
  2. Three darts: T20 (60) + T20 (60) = 120 leaves 50, the bullseye.
  3. 60 + 60 + 50 = 170, finishing on the bull, which counts as a double.

170, the “big fish”, is the highest checkout: T20, T20, Bull.

What the result means

The route shown is one valid finish chosen with common doubles (D20, D16, D8…) first. Players often choose a different set-up so that a missed dart still leaves a finish.

Assumptions and limits

  • Double-out rules: the last dart must be a double or the bullseye, and the score must reach exactly zero.
  • It does not choose routes to protect against missed darts, and does not handle straight-out or double-in formats.

Questions

What are the bogey numbers?

159, 162, 163, 165, 166, 168 and 169 cannot be finished with three darts, even though they are below 170.

Can you finish on 1?

No. Going to 1 is a bust because no double is worth 1.
