Darts Checkout Chart and Calculator

Last updated 10 November 2026

Type in the score you have left and how many darts you have in hand, and the calculator suggests a way out. Below it is the full chart of finishing routes for every score from 170 down to 2, playing double out.

How to read the routes

T means treble and D means double, so T20 is treble 20 (60 points) and D16 is double 16 (32).
A plain number is a single. 25 is the outer bull and Bull is the inner bull (50), which counts as a double.
The routes use the fewest darts possible, then favour the doubles most players practise: double 20 and double 16, then 18, 12, 10 and 8.

Every route in this chart is generated and then tested to make sure it adds up to the score and finishes on a double. There is often more than one good route. If you have a favourite double, it is fine to aim for that instead.

Scores with no 3-dart finish

Seven scores of 170 or less cannot be finished with three darts: 169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162 and 159. They are known as bogey numbers. From these, or from anything above 170, score as heavily as you can while trying to leave a finish for your next turn.

Tips for learning checkouts

Learn the finishes you actually face. Scores under 100 come up far more often than the big ones. Learn those first.
Leave a double that halves. 32 (double 16) is popular because a single 16 leaves 16, then 8, then 4, so you always have a double to go at.
Know your two-dart finishes. The highest score you can finish with two darts is 110 (T20 Bull). Many finishes from 61 to 110 need just a treble and a double.
Practise doubles. Bob's 27 takes you around every double on the board.

Frequently asked questions

What is the highest checkout in darts?

170: treble 20, treble 20, bull. It is nicknamed the “big fish”.

Which scores cannot be checked out?

With three darts, 169, 168, 166, 165, 163, 162 and 159 have no finish, and neither does any score above 170.

Does the bull count as a double?

Yes. The inner bull is worth 50 and counts as a double, so it can be the final dart of a checkout. The outer bull (25) cannot.

What is the highest two-dart finish?

110, with treble 20 then the bull.
