How to use this tool?
This calculator computes a player's True Shooting Percentage (TS%), a metric that accounts for points, field goals, and free throws to measure scoring efficiency.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Enter Points (PTS): Input the total points scored (e.g., 27).
- Enter Field Goal Attempts (FGA): Input the number of field goals attempted (e.g., 20).
- Enter Free Throw Attempts (FTA): Input the number of free throws attempted (e.g., 8).
- Click "Calculate TS%" or press Enter on any input field.
- View the result: TS% is displayed as a percentage (e.g., 60.2%).
Important Notes
- All inputs must be non-negative numbers (decimals allowed).
- The formula used:
TS% = PTS / (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA)) - If FGA and FTA are both zero, an error will appear (division by zero).
- Use this metric to compare scoring efficiency across players or games.

Frequently Asked Questions
True Shooting Percentage (TS%) is a measure of scoring efficiency that accounts for field goals, three-pointers, and free throws. It is calculated as PTS / (2 * (FGA + 0.44 * FTA)).
In the NBA, the league average TS% is around 55-56%. A TS% above 60% is considered excellent, while below 50% is poor.
The 0.44 factor estimates the number of free throw attempts that end a possession, accounting for technical fouls, and-1s, etc. It is a standard constant used in the TS% formula.
