multiway deal calculator?

apologies in advance if this is posted in the wrong forum.

somehow, i made the final table of a tourney today and am curious if i made a good deal based on the chip counts (also curious if stars support calculated it properly). if someone could direct me to a calculator for this or tell me what my equity was i would appreciate it.

1st = $9712
2nd = $5555
3rd = $3574
4th = $2680

Player A = 1420144 chips
Player B = 313840
Player C = 304560
Homer = 292456

thanks all.

Answered my own question:

by the 'percentage of remainder' method (used by Stars) I get $4035. By the 'Burns-Landrum' method (more fair to short stacks), I get $4660. So, I did a good job of shorting myself $625. I knew first place was getting too much but had no numbers to "prove" it. Live and learn.
