In basketball, effective field goal percentage is a statistic that adjusts field goal percentage to account for the fact that three-point field goals count for three points while field goals only count for two points. It is abbreviated eFG%.

It is calculated by: eFG\% = \frac{FG + 0.5 * 3P}{FGA}

where:

  • FG = field goals made,
  • 3P = 3 point field goals made,
  • FGA = field goal attempts,
