Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) Calculator

Calculate effective field goal percentage to account for three-point value.

Results

Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%):

Data Source and Methodology

All calculations are based on formulas from Wikipedia. All calculations are strictly based on the formulas and data provided by this source.

The Formula Explained

\[ eFG\% = \frac{FGM + 0.5 \times 3PM}{FGA} \]

Glossary of Terms

  • FGM: Field Goals Made
  • 3PM: Three-Point Field Goals Made
  • FGA: Field Goal Attempts

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example

For example, if a player makes 10 field goals, including 2 three-point field goals, out of 20 attempts, the eFG% would be calculated as follows:

\[ eFG\% = \frac{10 + 0.5 \times 2}{20} = 55\% \]

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%)?

Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) is a basketball statistic that adjusts for the fact that a 3-point field goal is worth more than a 2-point field goal.
