Winning Percentage Calculator

Enter the number of wins, losses, and ties (draws) to determine the winning percentage.

Calculate the success rate of a team or player.

Quick Answer

Winning percentage is calculated by dividing total wins by total games played. If ties count as half-wins, the formula is **(Wins + 0.5 × Ties) / Total Games × 100**. Otherwise, it is simply **(Wins / Total Games) × 100**.

How It Works

  1. Add up Wins, Losses, and Ties to get Total Games.
  2. Divide the number of Wins by the Total Games.
  3. Multiply by 100.
  4. Optional: To include ties, add 0.5 for each tie to your win count before dividing.

Formula:

Win % = (Wins / Total Games) × 100

Decimals vs Percentages

In American sports (Baseball, Basketball), winning percentage is often expressed as a decimal to three places (e.g., **.650**). This translates to **65.0%**.

Examples

Example A: Clean Record

Result: 10 Wins, 0 Losses. 10/10 = 100% Win Rate.

Example B: With Ties

Result: 5 Wins, 4 Losses, 1 Tie. Total 10. Win Rate: 5/10 = 50%.

Example C: Coin Flip

Result: 50 Wins, 50 Losses. 50/100 = 50%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do ties count?

It depends on the league. In simple stats, ties lower your win percentage because they increase the "Total Games" without increasing "Wins".

How is Games Behind (GB) calculated?

Games Behind compares the difference in wins and losses between a leading team and another team. Formula: ((LeaderWins - TeamWins) + (TeamLosses - LeaderLosses)) / 2.

What is .500?

A ".500 record" means you have won exactly half of your games (e.g., 41-41 in NBA). It corresponds to 50%.
