What Is a Field Goal Percentage Calculator?

A Field Goal Percentage Calculator helps basketball players, coaches, and analysts evaluate shooting efficiency. It calculates standard field goal percentage (FG%), three-point percentage (3P%), two-point percentage (2P%), and effective field goal percentage (eFG%) which accounts for the extra value of three-pointers.

Key Formulas

$$\text{FG\%} = \frac{\text{FGM}}{\text{FGA}} \times 100$$

$$\text{eFG\%} = \frac{\text{FGM} + 0.5 \times \text{3PM}}{\text{FGA}} \times 100$$

$$\text{2PM} = \text{FGM} - \text{3PM}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter field goals made (FGM): Total number of field goals made.
  2. Enter field goals attempted (FGA): Total number of field goals attempted.
  3. Enter three-pointers made (3PM): Number of three-point shots made.
  4. Enter three-pointers attempted (3PA): Number of three-point shots attempted.
  5. Review your shooting splits: The calculator instantly displays FG%, 3P%, 2P%, and eFG%.

Understanding eFG%

Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) adjusts standard FG% to account for the fact that three-pointers are worth 50% more than two-pointers. A player shooting 5-of-10 on twos (50%) has the same eFG% as a player shooting 4-of-10 but making 2 threes (also 50% eFG%). This makes eFG% a better measure of scoring efficiency than raw FG%.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good field goal percentage in the NBA?

The NBA average FG% is typically around 46-47%. Centers and power forwards often shoot 55-65% due to close-range shots, while guards may shoot 42-47% because they take more three-pointers. A good eFG% is typically above 52% for guards and above 55% for big men.

Why use eFG% instead of regular FG%?

eFG% provides a more accurate picture of scoring efficiency because it accounts for the added value of three-pointers. A player shooting 6-of-10 on twos (60% FG) scores 12 points, while a player shooting 4-of-10 with 3 threes (40% FG) scores 11 points -- eFG% captures this difference.

How do I calculate two-point percentage?

Two-point percentage is calculated by subtracting three-point makes from total field goals made and three-point attempts from total field goal attempts, then dividing: 2P% = (FGM - 3PM) / (FGA - 3PA) x 100. The calculator automatically computes this for you.
