TS% = PTS ÷ (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA))
The 0.44 coefficient converts free throw attempts into possession equivalents, accounting for and-ones and technical free throws that do not consume a full possession.

Summary
Enter points, field goal attempts, and free throw attempts to compute a player's True Shooting Percentage and compare it to NBA benchmarks.
How it works
- Enter the player's season totals for points, field goal attempts, and free throw attempts.
- The calculator applies the formula: TS% = PTS ÷ (2 × (FGA + 0.44 × FTA)).
- The 0.44 multiplier converts free throw attempts into a possession-equivalent weight.
- The result is expressed as a percentage and rated against published NBA benchmarks.
- Compare multiple players by resetting the inputs and recalculating for each.
Use cases
- Compare shooting efficiency across players regardless of scoring volume.
- Evaluate whether a high-usage scorer is actually efficient or just high-volume.
- Assess fantasy basketball pickups by looking beyond raw points and shooting percentage.
- Determine which player on your team contributes the most value per shot attempt.
- Analyze historical seasons to contextualize great and poor shooting performances.
- Settle debates about who the better shooter is using a single composite metric.
