True shooting percentage (TS%) calculator

True shooting percentage measures scoring efficiency across all shot types — field goals, three-pointers and free throws — at once: TS% = points ÷ (2·(FGA + 0.44·FTA)) × 100. The 0.44 factor approximates how many possessions free throws consume.

The True shooting percentage (TS%) calculator turns Points scored (PTS), Field goals attempted (FGA), Free throws attempted (FTA) into True shooting % (TS%), instantly and for free. For instance, with Points scored (PTS) = 28, Field goals attempted (FGA) = 18 and Free throws attempted (FTA) = 8 it returns True shooting % (TS%) = 65.06%.

How to use it

  1. Enter your values: Points scored (PTS), Field goals attempted (FGA), Free throws attempted (FTA).
  2. Read the result instantly: True shooting % (TS%).

Frequently asked questions

How does the True shooting percentage (TS%) calculator work?

It takes Points scored (PTS), Field goals attempted (FGA) and Free throws attempted (FTA) and derives True shooting % (TS%) from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

Which values does the calculator ask for?

3 values: Points scored (PTS), Field goals attempted (FGA) and Free throws attempted (FTA). Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

What does a typical calculation look like?

With Points scored (PTS) = 28, Field goals attempted (FGA) = 18 and Free throws attempted (FTA) = 8, the calculator returns True shooting % (TS%) = 65.06%. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

When would I actually use this?

Running a league or a tournament: how many fixtures a format produces, how the table resolves ties, and what a team still needs to qualify.

What is the most common mistake?

Assuming tie-breaks work the same everywhere. Goal difference, head-to-head and goals scored are applied in a different order by nearly every competition, and the order decides the table.

What is the difference between the True shooting percentage (TS%) calculator and the Basketball shooting percentage calculator?

This one returns True shooting % (TS%); the Basketball shooting percentage calculator returns Shooting percentage. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Effective field goal percentage (eFG%) calculator is the closest one after this: Effective field goal percentage adjusts the standard FG% to credit three-pointers with the extra point they are worth: eFG% = (FGM + 0.5·3PM) ÷ FGA × 100. It gives a fairer picture of a shooter's efficiency than raw field goal percentage.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Field goal percentage (FG%) calculator and Basketball rebound percentage (TRB%) calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from, and how current are they?

Fixture counts and point totals are pure combinatorics and hold for any competition. The tie-break order is set by each governing body's own regulations — check the one you are actually in.
