Basketball Shooting Percentage Calculator
Calculates field goal shooting percentage from shots made and shots attempted.
This calculator divides shots made by shots attempted and expresses the result as a percentage, the standard way shooting efficiency is tracked in basketball at every level. Because it just needs a made/attempted count, it works equally well for overall field goal percentage, 3-point percentage, or free throw percentage — just enter the counts for whichever category you're tracking.
Example
- With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Field Goal Percentage ≈ 60%.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's considered a good shooting percentage?
This varies a lot by shot type and level of play — overall field goal percentages in competitive basketball commonly range from the high 30s to around 50%, with 3-point and free throw percentages tracked separately since they have very different typical ranges.
Can I use this for free throws or 3-pointers specifically?
Yes — just enter the made and attempted counts for whichever specific shot type you want to track (all shots, 3-pointers only, free throws only, etc.).
