Winning Percentage Calculator

Winning percentage is the share of games a team has won. Enter the wins and losses, and the answer follows.

How it works

Divide the wins by the games played, which is wins plus losses. Sports tables usually show the result as a decimal with three places, such as .565, and that is the form used here.

Ties are left out of this sum. If your league counts a tie as half a win, add half of the ties to both the wins and the games before you enter them.

Worked example

A team with 91 wins and 71 losses in 162 games has a winning percentage of 0.562.

Questions

Is a winning percentage the same as a win total?

No. A win total is a count. A winning percentage divides wins by games played, so teams that have played different numbers of games can be compared.

Why is it written like .500?

Many sports write it as a decimal. A team that wins exactly half its games is shown at .500.

What about ties?

This calculator does not count them on its own. Adding half of them to the wins and games is one common way to handle a tie.
