Points Per Game Calculator

Welcome to our Points Per Game Calculator. Points Per Game (PPG) is a commonly used metric in sports and performance based games such as hockey, baseball, soccer, and more. In this post, we will explain step by step what points per game is, how it's calculated, its formula (including an Excel formula) and a real-world example.

What is Points Per Game (PPG)?

Points Per Game (PPG) is a widely used statistical measurement that determines how many points a player scores on average per game. PPG can be calculated by dividing the total points a player has by the number of games they have played.

Formula:

$$$ \text{Points Per Game (PPG)}=\frac{\text{Total Points}}{\text{Games Played}}$$$

This means:

• Total Points: The total number of points a player has scored.
• Games Played: The total number of games that the player has successfully played.

How to Use the Points Per Game Calculator

Our PPG calculator is simple to use and makes the calculation automatic and effortless. Follow these steps:

1. Input Total Points: Enter the total number of points the player has scored.
2. Input Games Played: Enter the total number of games the player has played
3. Get PPG: Our calculator will automatically compute the result and display it as you type the values.

🏀Example: Points Per Game With Formula

Let's imagine a basketball player has scored a total of 250 points in 50 games. Apply the formula to Get PPG:

$$$ \text{Points Per Game (PPG)}=\frac{\text{Total Points}}{\text{Games Played}}$$$

$$$ \text{Points Per Game}=\frac{250}{50}=5$$$

We get the result that the player has scored an average of 5 points per game.

In the NBA, elite players often average between 25–30 PPG, while role players may average 10–15 PPG.

The PPG metric helps evaluate scoring consistency throughout the season.

⚽ Example: Points Per Game in Soccer or Football

PPG is used differently in soccer and football—it measures team performance instead of individual scoring. Let's look at the formula and an example:

Formula:

$$$ \text{PPG (Team)}=\frac{\text{Total Points Earned}}{\text{Games Played}}$$$

• Win = 3 points
• Draw = 1 point
• Loss = 0 points

Example:

If a soccer team earns 30 points from 15 matches, then

$$$ \text{PPG}=\frac{30}{15}=2.0$$$

Typically, a PPG above 2.0 is considered championship-level form.

⚾ Example: PPG in Baseball and Hockey

PPG in baseball and hockey can refer to team points earned or individual scoring averages (goals or points per game). The logic remains the same — divide total points (or goals) by the number of games played to find average performance.
