Basketball Shooting Percentage Calculator

Basketball Shooting Percentages measure a player’s efficiency from different areas of the court. Multiple statistics work together to give a complete picture.

Field Goal Percentage (FG%): FG% = (Field Goals Made / Field Goals Attempted) × 100

This counts all shots from the field (two-pointers and three-pointers combined). A good FG% in the NBA is above 45%. Elite shooters reach 50%+.

Three-Point Percentage (3P%): 3P% = (Three-Pointers Made / Three-Pointers Attempted) × 100

Measures accuracy specifically from beyond the three-point arc. The NBA three-point line is 23 feet 9 inches (7.24 meters) from the basket. A good 3P% is above 35%. Elite shooters like Stephen Curry have career averages around 43%.

Free Throw Percentage (FT%): FT% = (Free Throws Made / Free Throws Attempted) × 100

Free throws are uncontested shots from the free throw line, 15 feet (4.57 meters) from the basket. A good FT% is above 75%. Elite free throw shooters exceed 90%.

True Shooting Percentage (TS%): TS% = Points / (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA)) × 100

This is the most comprehensive shooting efficiency metric. It accounts for the different values of two-point shots, three-point shots, and free throws. The 0.44 multiplier for free throw attempts accounts for and-ones, technical free throws, and three-shot fouls. A good TS% in the NBA is above 55%. Elite efficiency is 60%+.

Points from shooting: Points = (2PT Made × 2) + (3PT Made × 3) + (FT Made × 1)

Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%): eFG% = (FGM + 0.5 × 3PM) / FGA × 100 This adjusts FG% to account for the extra value of three-pointers.
