Basketball percentages and player stats
The basketball section is designed for practical calculations and clear explanations. Start with a related tool above, then use the guidance below to understand its assumptions.
Field-goal percentage
Field-goal percentage is field goals made divided by field goals attempted, multiplied by 100. For 9 makes in 20 attempts, the percentage is 45%. It includes two- and three-point field goals.
Three-pointers and free throws
Three-point percentage uses made three-pointers over three-point attempts. Free-throw percentage uses successful free throws over free-throw attempts. Keep the denominators separate to avoid misleading comparisons.
How to compare performances
Raw percentages should be read alongside attempts, minutes and role. A player hitting 2 of 3 shots and a player hitting 20 of 30 have the same percentage, but very different sample sizes.
Frequently asked questions
How should zero attempts be shown?
A percentage with zero attempts is undefined; do not treat it as a performance of 0%.
Does field-goal percentage include free throws?
No. Free throws are tracked separately from field-goal attempts.
