The Basketball Shooting Efficiency calculator computes the efficiency metric based on the number of 2 point and 3 point goals made and the number of attempts.

INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:

  • (2P) Two Point Goals Made
  • (2PA) Two Point Shot Attempts
  • (3P) Three Point Goals Made
  • (3PA) Three Point Shot Attempts
  • (FF) Free Throw Goals Made
  • (FFA) Free Throw Attempts

Effective Field Goal Percentage (EFG%): The calculator returns the Effective Field Goal Percentage.  The calculator also returns the following:

  • (TS) Total Score
  • (EFG%) Effective Field Goal Percent
  • (%2s) Shooting Percent of 2 Point Goals 
  • (%3s) Shooting Percent of 3 Point Goals
  • (%FT) Shooting Percent of Free Throws
  • (TSA) Total Field Shot Attempts (not including Free Throws)
  • (2P) Percent of 2 Point Shots of All Attempts
  • (3P) Percent of 3 Point Shot of All Attempts

The Math / Science

Effective Field Goal percentage gives you an accurate reading on who is shooting better... you or your opponent. E.F.G% gives more credit to made 3 point field goals since they yield 1.5 times the scoring of a 2 point field goal.

The formula for Effective Field Goal Percentage is:

   EFG% = (2P + (1.5 * 3P) ) / AT

where:

  • EFG% = Effective Field Goal Percentage
  • 2P = 2 point goals made
  • 3P = 3 point goals made
  • AT =  Total Shots attempted in the field (2PA + 3PA)
