Effective Field Goal Percentage (EFG%) is a metric that adjusts a player’s field goal percentage to account for the added value of threeβpoint shots. By giving extra weight to made threeβpointers, EFG% provides a more accurate picture of shooting efficiency than traditional FG%.
Coaches and analysts rely on EFG% to compare players across positions and playing styles, because it normalizes the scoring impact of longβrange shooting. A higher EFG% indicates a player converts a larger share of their attempts into points, factoring in the extra point per threeβpointer.
Use this calculator by entering your total field goals made, field goals attempted, and threeβpoint field goals made. The result will display your EFG% as a percentage, helping you gauge shooting performance in a single, SEOβfriendly view.
