What is Player Usage Rate (UAR)?

Player Usage Rate (UAR) is a measure that indicates the percentage of team possessions a player uses while on the court. It helps compare players across different teams and seasons by accounting for differences in team styles and minutes played.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the player's minutes per game in the first input field
  2. Enter the team's total minutes per game in the second input field
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the player's UAR
  4. The result will be displayed as a percentage

Example

If a player averages 30 minutes per game and the team plays 1,000 minutes per game, the calculation would be:

UAR = (30 / (30 + 1000)) * 100 = 3%

This means the player uses 3% of the team's possessions while on the court.

Significance of UAR

A higher UAR indicates that a player is more involved in their team's offense, taking more shots, assists, and other offensive actions. UAR is often used in advanced basketball analytics to evaluate player performance and compare players across different teams and seasons.
