True Shooting Percentage Calculator (TS%) by TheCalcTools
How the True Shooting Percentage Calculator (TS%) works
True shooting percentage measures scoring efficiency including threes and free throws: TS% = points ÷ (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA)). The 0.44 factor estimates how many free throws make up one possession.
Effective field goal percentage gives three-pointers 1.5 times the value of twos: (FGM + 0.5 × 3PM) ÷ FGA.
The formula
TS% = PTS ÷ (2 (FGA + 0.44 FTA))
Worked example
Using the default values shown in the calculator:
| Points | 27 |
|---|---|
| Field goal attempts | 19 |
| Field goals made | 9 |
| Three-pointers made | 3 |
| Free throw attempts | 8 |
- 27 points on 19 shots and 8 free throws: TS% 59.9%, eFG% 55.3%.
Result:
| True shooting % | 59.9% |
|---|---|
| Effective field goal % | 55.3% |
| Field goal % | 47.4% |
| True shooting attempts | 22.5 |
