How Winning Percentage Works
Winning percentage is wins divided by total games, with ties counted as half a win. Standings usually show it as a three-decimal number, so a 20-12 record is .625. Multiply by 100 to read it as a percentage (62.5%).
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate winning percentage?
Divide wins by total games played, counting each tie as half a win. For example, a 20-12 record is 20 divided by 32, which is .625 or 62.5 percent.
Do ties count in winning percentage?
Yes. A tie counts as half a win, so it is added as 0.5 to the numerator and as one game to the total.
What is a good winning percentage?
In most sports a winning percentage above .500 means more wins than losses. Elite teams often finish around .700 or higher over a full season.
