How is headshot percentage calculated?

Headshot percentage is headshot kills divided by total kills, multiplied by 100, rounded to 1 decimal place. Unlike Valorant in-game combat reports that track total landed hits, this measures your kill-based headshot rate.

What is a good headshot percentage in Valorant?

In standard competitive benchmarks based on combat data, 10–14% is below average, 15–19% is average (Silver–Gold), 20–25% is above average (Platinum–Diamond), and 30%+ is elite (Radiant tier). Kill-based rates often trend slightly higher than hit-based rates.

How does in-game headshot percentage differ from kill headshot percentage?

Valorant combat reports and Tracker.gg calculate HS% from total landed bullet hits (head hits divided by total landed shots). Kill-based HS% divides headshot finishing blows by total kills.

How do weapon choices affect headshot percentage?

Precision rifles like the Vandal or Guardian reward single-tap headshots and yield higher HS%, whereas shotguns, SMGs, and phantom spray transfers naturally produce more body hits and lower percentages.

Does agent choice affect what counts as a good HS%?

Yes. Duelists and other close-range agents tend to post higher headshot percentages than support or controller agents who play more utility-focused roles, so tier bands are a general guide, not a fixed target.

Summary

This calculator converts raw headshot and total kill counts into a kill-based headshot ratio, distinct from the hit-based metric in Valorant combat reports. Results are contextualized against rank tier benchmarks to help gauge aim consistency.

How it works

Enter your headshot kills.
Enter your total kills.
The tool divides headshot kills by total kills and multiplies by 100.
A rating tier shows where that percentage lands compared to typical player bands.
