This calculator helps basketball players and coaches determine the player's Effective Field Goal Percentage, providing a better understanding of shooting efficiency by accounting for three-point shots.
All calculations are based on formulas from Wikipedia. All calculations are strictly based on the formulas and data provided by this source.
\[ eFG\% = \frac{FGM + 0.5 \times 3PM}{FGA} \]
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:
\[ eFG\% = \frac{10 + 0.5 \times 2}{20} = 55\% \]
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.
Enter the total field goals made, the number of three-point field goals made, and the total field goal attempts to calculate eFG%.
eFG% provides a more accurate measure of a player's shooting efficiency by accounting for the extra point in three-point shots.
Yes, in some cases, players with a high number of three-point shots can have an eFG% over 100%.
Yes, eFG% is commonly used by coaches and analysts in professional basketball to assess player performance.
