True Shooting Percentage
Calculate TS% from points scored, field goal attempts, and free throw attempts.
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.
