Mahjong Scoring Calculators & Winning Hands
Start with your ruleset. The same tiles can score differently in each game; a complete shape alone does not always qualify for a win.

How to check a Mahjong hand
- Choose the rules used by your table.
- Enter concealed tiles and called sets; put the winning tile last.
- Set self-draw or discard win and any special conditions.
- Read the detected patterns and payments, then check their requirements in the table.
These calculators follow mahjchina’s rules. They evaluate one winner, not a whole match ledger. Previous kong payments, simultaneous winners, draw penalties and competitive points are outside the result. Local rules may differ.
Mahjong scoring questions
Is there one scoring system for all Mahjong?
No. Hong Kong uses fan, MCR counts points, Taiwan uses tai, and Riichi combines han and fu with limit hands. Choose the ruleset before entering a hand.
Can I win with four sets and a pair?
That is a common hand structure, but winning requirements still apply. Taiwan normally needs five sets and a pair; special hands and minimum-score rules also vary.
How does the calculator identify a hand?
Choose a ruleset and enter your tiles, melds and win conditions. The calculator identifies patterns and scores them under those rules. The scoring engine downloads on first use and runs on your device.
