Abstract: An algorithm is given for computing the Hausdorff dimension of the set(s) $\Lambda =\Lambda (\beta ,D) $ of real numbers with representations $x=\sum _{n=1}^\infty d_n \beta ^{-n} $, where each $d_n \in D $, a finite set of ``digits'', and $\beta >0 $ is a Pisot number. The Hausdorff dimension is shown to be $\log \lambda /\log \beta $, where $\lambda $ is the top eigenvalue of a finite 0-1 matrix $A $, and a simple algorithm for generating $A $ from the data $\beta ,D $ is given.
