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.

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?
Comparing two figures produced under different rules. A percentage over ten attempts and one over two hundred are not the same claim; the order of tie-breaks, the way a rating is adjusted and what even counts as an attempt are each set by the competition, not by the sport. The number means something next to the rulebook it came from and very little without it.
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.
