How to Use This Calculator
- Enter total Points Scored and Field Goal Attempts (FGA) for the player.
- Add Free Throw Attempts (FTA) and Three-Pointers Made.
- Review True Shooting % (TS%) — the most comprehensive measure of shooting efficiency.
- Compare Effective FG% (eFG%) and standard FG% to understand the impact of free throws.
- Check TS% vs. League Avg to see how the player compares to the NBA average of ~57.5%.
How the result changes with Points Scored

- Field Goal Attempts (FGA)
- Total field goal attempts (2-point + 3-point).
- Field Goals Made (FGM)
- Total field goals made.
- Free Throw Attempts (FTA)
- Total free throw attempts.
- Three-Pointers Made
- Three-point field goals made (for eFG% calculation).
What each result means
- True Shooting %
- TS% = PTS / (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA)). The gold standard of shooting efficiency.
- Effective FG%
- eFG% adjusts for the extra value of three-pointers.
- Field Goal %
- Standard FG% — field goals made divided by attempts.
- Points Per Shot
- Average points generated per field goal attempt.
- True Shooting Attempts
- TSA = FGA + 0.44 × FTA. Normalizes shot volume across free throws.
- TS% vs League Avg
- Difference from the ~57.5% NBA league average TS%.
