Basketball Shooting Efficiency & Performance Mathematics

Basketball calculator computes effective field goal % (eFG%), true shooting % (TS%), Hollinger Game Score, and the vertical jump needed to dunk on a 10-foot rim.

Standardized Mathematical Formula
TS% = PTS Γ· [2 Γ— (FGA + 0.44 Γ— FTA)]

True shooting percentage folds free throws into overall scoring efficiency, unlike plain field goal percentage. Effective FG% is a simpler adjustment that only credits three-pointers with their extra half-point of value relative to a two-point make.

Variables:
PTS:Total points scored
FGA:Field goal attempts
FTA:Free throw attempts
0.44:Empirical factor estimating possessions ended by free throw trips
How It Works (Step-by-Step)
  • 1Enter points scored, field goals made/attempted, three-pointers made, and free throws made/attempted.
  • 2View effective field goal % (eFG%) and true shooting % (TS%) β€” plus separate tabs for Hollinger Game Score and the vertical jump needed to dunk on a 10-foot rim.
Real-World Numerical Example
A 28-Point, 19-Shot Game

A player scores 28 points on 10-for-19 field goals, including 4 made three-pointers, plus 4-for-5 free throws.

β€’Effective FG%: (10 + 0.5 Γ— 4) Γ· 19 = 12 Γ· 19 = 63.2%.
β€’True Shooting denominator: 2 Γ— (19 + 0.44 Γ— 5) = 2 Γ— 21.2 = 42.4.
β€’True Shooting %: 28 Γ· 42.4 = 66.0%.
Result: The player posts a 63.2% effective field goal percentage and a 66.0% true shooting percentage β€” both well above the roughly 56% NBA average.
Calculation Best Practices & Tips
Use the Brzycki formula (1RM = Weight / (1.0278 - 0.0278 * Reps)) for sub-maximal sets between 2 and 10 repetitions.
Pace consistency during the first half of a marathon is the single greatest predictor of achieving personal record finish times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

League-average TS% in the NBA is roughly 56-57%; a high-volume scorer sustaining above 60% is considered elite efficiency.

eFG% only adjusts field goal makes (crediting each three-pointer as 1.5 field goals, since it is worth 50% more than a two), while TS% additionally folds in free throw attempts, making it the more complete of the two efficiency measures.

It depends on your standing reach: you need your standing reach plus vertical jump to clear the 10-foot (304.8 cm) rim by roughly 6 inches (15 cm) for a solid flush, so shorter players with a lower standing reach need a proportionally higher vertical leap.
