* '''Haneman''' {{kana|跳満}} = 50% more than mangan (x1.5)
* '''Baiman''' {{kana|倍満}} = 100% more than mangan (double)

The scoring table is generated by calculating the point values of each han and fu combination. With known han and fu values, the appropriate point values can be read straight off the table. Memorizing the score table, or at least knowing the common values, can help decision making.

Mangan

Hand scoring a mangan via tsumo.

Mangan 「満貫」 is a point cap which limits the impact of han and fu. Worth 8000 points in total, mangan is reached with 3 han and 70 fu, 4 han and 40 fu, or 5 han. Once a hand reaches mangan, increasing fu will no longer affect scoring.

Below mangan, each han roughly doubles the hand's score. Increasing han past mangan still increases the hand's score, but no longer doubles it. Instead, the scores increase in set amounts. These values, like mangan, have their own names:

  • Haneman 「跳満」 = 50% more than mangan (x1.5)
  • Baiman 「倍満」 = 100% more than mangan (double)
  • Sanbaiman 「三倍満」 = 200% more than mangan (triple)
  • Yakuman 「役満」 = 300% more than mangan (quadruple)

Kiriage mangan

Kiriage mangan 「切り上げ満貫」, or "rounded up mangan", is a scoring variation. When kiriage mangan is enabled, a 4 han and 30 fu hand, as well as a 3 han 60 fu hand, are considered mangan. The difference between a regular 4 han 30 fu hand (7600-7900) and mangan is not very large, so these values are rounded up for convenience.

Kiriage mangan is reasonably common in real life play, though most computer clients do not use kiriage mangan.

Dealer

  • The upper value to each scoring pair are the points awarded for tsumo. All nondealer players pay this amount to the dealer.
  • The lower value to each scoring pair are the points awarded for ron. The ron values are approximately or exactly three times the amount of the "tsumo" values.

Nondealer

  • The upper value to each scoring pair are the points awarded for tsumo. These points are arranged in pairs because of non-dealers and the dealer. All nondealer players pay the smaller amount, while the dealer pays the larger amount.
  • The lower value to each scoring pair are the points awarded for ron. The ron values are approximately or exactly the same as the dealer points plus two times the non-dealer points.

Senten

「センテン」
1000 pts

A 1,000 point hand.
Zanku

「ザンク」
3900 pts

One of the most common hand values of 3,900 points. Combination of zan(3) and ku(9).
Chiichii

「チーチー」
7700 pts

A 7,700 point hand. Two chii(7).
Pinpinroku

「ピンピンロク」
11600 pts

A dealer's hand worth 4 han and 30 fu. Two pin(1) and one roku(6).
Inpachi

「インパチ」
