What is Free throw percentage (FT%)?

Free throw percentage is the share of free throw attempts that go in.

Formula

FT% = free throws made ÷ free throws attempted

Example

Making 7 of 10 free throws is 70.0%.

Why it matters in a league

Free throws decide close games. A team that shoots 55% from the line in a one-possession game is giving points away.
