How Basketball Efficiency Is Calculated
Formula
EFF = (PTS + REB + AST + STL + BLK) - (Missed FG + Missed FT + TOV)
This simple formula sums positive contributions and subtracts negative ones.
Context
An efficiency rating of 15+ per game is very good, and 20+ is All-Star caliber. This is a simpler version of PER (Player Efficiency Rating).
Example Calculation
22 pts, 8 reb, 5 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk, 9/18 FG, 4/6 FT, 3 TOV.
- 01Positive = 22 + 8 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 37
- 02Missed FG = 18 - 9 = 9
- 03Missed FT = 6 - 4 = 2
- 04Negative = 9 + 2 + 3 = 14
- 05EFF = 37 - 14 = 23
