WHAT TO ENTER
Score each side in four simple steps
The scorekeeper follows the same order used on the Canasta101 score sheet and in the complete scoring example.
Add Canasta and red-3 bonuses
Enter the combined bonus total. Use a negative number when a red-3 penalty applies.
Add going-out points
Choose 100 for going out, 200 total for going out concealed, or zero when the other side ends the hand.
Add melded card values
Count the value of every card on that side of the table, including the cards inside completed Canastas.
Subtract cards left in hand
Enter their positive value here. The calculator subtracts them from the hand automatically.
Save the hand
The hand score is added to the previous running total and stored on this device.
Check the next minimum
The scorekeeper shows whether each side needs 15, 50, 90, or 120 points to make its next initial meld.
USEFUL AT THE TABLE
Digital when you want it. Printable when you do not.
The mobile scorekeeper is ideal when the pencil disappears or you want the running totals calculated automatically. If your table prefers paper, the updated printable remains free.
QUICK ANSWERS
Canasta scorekeeper FAQ
Does this Canasta score calculator cost anything?
No. It is free to use, requires no account, and does not ask for an email address.
Will my score disappear if I close the browser?
The current game is stored locally on this device. Use Restore Saved Game when you return. Clearing browser data can remove that saved game.
Does it work for three players?
Yes. Choose three-player mode and score each player independently. See the 3-player Canasta rules for the setup and deal.
How are cards left in hand handled?

Can a Canasta hand score be negative?

Does this replace the rules?
