True Shooting Percentage Calculator

True shooting percentage (TS%) measures scoring efficiency by accounting for field goals and free throws. Enter points scored, field goal attempts, and free throw attempts to calculate TS% instantly.

TS% Formula

First compute true shooting attempts: FGA + (0.44 x FTA). Then divide points by twice that value and multiply by 100 to get TS%.

Why TS% Is Useful

Standard field goal percentage ignores free throws and the extra value of three-pointers. TS% provides a single efficiency number that rewards all scoring methods proportionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good true shooting percentage?

League-average NBA TS% is often near 57-58%. Elite scorers frequently exceed 60%, while values below 50% indicate low scoring efficiency.

Why multiply free throw attempts by 0.44?

The 0.44 coefficient estimates how many free throw trips equal one field goal possession, keeping TS% aligned with possession-based efficiency models.

Do three-pointers affect TS%?

Yes. Because points are in the numerator and FGA in the denominator, made threes increase TS% more than made twos for the same attempt count.

Can I use season totals?

Yes. Enter cumulative season points, FGA, and FTA to calculate season-long true shooting percentage.
