Calculation Formula

eFG% = (FGM + 0.5 * FG3M) / FGA

Where:
eFG% = Effective Field Goal Percentage
FGM = Field Goals Made
FG3M = 3-Point Field Goals Made
FGA = Field Goal Attempts

What is Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%)?

Effective Field Goal Percentage (eFG%) is a more accurate measure of shooting efficiency than the traditional Field Goal Percentage (FG%). It accounts for the additional value of 3-point field goals compared to 2-point field goals.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the number of Field Goals Made (FGM) in the first input field
  2. Enter the total number of Field Goal Attempts (FGA) in the second input field
  3. Enter the number of 3-Point Field Goals Made (FG3M) in the third input field
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the eFG%
  5. Click the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and start over

Example Calculation

If a player makes 10 field goals (including 5 three-pointers) in 25 attempts, the calculation would be:

eFG% = (10 + 0.5 * 5) / 25 = 7 / 25 = 0.28 or 28%

Why Use eFG%?

eFG% provides a more accurate representation of shooting efficiency by giving credit for the difficulty of making 3-point shots. It's widely used in basketball analytics to compare players and teams objectively.
