Effective Field Goal percentage is 60% (Standard FG is 50%). Produced 29 total points with 1.2 points/shot.
Effective Field Goal Percentage, or eFG%, measures shooting efficiency while giving extra value to made three pointers. It helps compare scoring accuracy more fairly than FG% alone. Use eFG% to understand how shot type affects efficiency.

You can calculate eFG% by adjusting field goal percentage for the added value of three pointers. The formula uses field goals made, three pointers made, and field goal attempts. Free throws do not enter the eFG% formula.
eFG% helps basketball analysts measure shooting efficiency for players and teams. It gives extra value to made three pointers, unlike basic FG%.
eFG% helps compare player shooting efficiency after counting the added value of made three pointers. It gives useful context for shot making.
Teams use eFG% to study field goal efficiency across games, seasons, and different shot patterns. It can reveal changes in scoring quality.
eFG% shows how two point and three point shots affect efficiency, making shot profile comparisons clearer than FG% alone. This adds useful context.
Metric | What It Measures | 3-Pointers Extra Value | Free Throws |
|---|---|---|---|
FG% | Basic shooting accuracy | No | No |
eFG% | Field goal efficiency | Yes | No |
TS% | Overall scoring efficiency | Yes, through total points | Yes |
Key point: eFG% is higher than FG% in this example because made three pointers receive extra value. TS% also includes free throw scoring.
Tips for Improving Your eFG%
Improve eFG% by creating better shots, finishing near the rim, and taking open threes. Better shot selection can raise efficiency without simply increasing shot volume. Players should also work on three point accuracy and avoid low value long twos when better options exist.
