About Effective Field Goal Percentage

Effective field goal percentage (eFG%) is a basketball statistic that adjusts field goal percentage to account for the fact that a made three-pointer is worth more than a made two-pointer. It gives a more accurate picture of a player's shooting efficiency.

Formula

  • eFG% = (FGM + 0.5 × 3PM) / FGA
  • FGM = Field goals made
  • 3PM = Three-pointers made (a subset of FGM)
  • FGA = Field goals attempted

  • Below 45% - Poor

Note: This calculator provides effective field goal percentage based on the inputs you provide. The three-pointers made figure should be a subset of total field goals made. These calculations assume all statistical inputs are accurate.
