Counting every outcome

The tool enumerates the full distribution by convolution: it builds up the ways to reach each total die by die. Two six-sided dice have 36 outcomes, and 6 of them sum to 7, so P(7) = 6/36 = 16.67%, the most likely total.

At-least probabilities

Games usually ask for at least a number: rolling 8+ on 2d6. The tool sums the tail of the distribution for this. Note the distribution is triangular for 2 dice and bell-shaped for more, never flat.

Dice Probability FAQs

What is the probability of rolling 7 on 2d6?
16.67%: 6 of the 36 outcomes sum to 7. The defaults are preloaded.
What are the odds of rolling 8 or more on 2d6?
41.67%. The P(at least target) stat sums the tail of the distribution.
Why is 7 the most common 2d6 total?
Six combinations make 7 (1+6, 2+5, ...), more than any other total. Totals near the middle always have the most combinations.
Can it handle a d20 or 6 dice?
Yes. Sides go up to d20 and dice up to 6, covering D&D rolls and craps. Counting stays exact for all of them.
Is my roll data sent anywhere?
No. The distribution is computed in your browser.
