Winning Percentage Calculator

Your winning percentage — also called your win rate or win-loss percentage — is the share of games you've won out of everything you've played. It's the universal scoreboard metric — leagues rank teams by it, gamers track it, and sales teams borrow it for close rates. Enter your record and get the exact percentage with the formula shown.

The winning percentage formula

Winning % = Wins ÷ (Wins + Losses) × 100

A 10-5 record: 10 ÷ 15 × 100 = 66.67%. In leagues that publish three-decimal form (like MLB), that's written .667.

Handling ties and draws

Winning % = (Wins + 0.5 × Ties) ÷ Total games × 100

Most sports treat a tie as half a win. A 10-5-3 record: (10 + 1.5) ÷ 18 × 100 = 63.89%. Some competitions ignore ties entirely instead — check your league's rules; this calculator implements the half-win standard.

Win rate vs. win-loss ratio

Don't confuse the two: a 10-5 record is a 66.67% win rate but a 2.0 win-loss ratio (10 ÷ 5). Percentages are easier to compare across different numbers of games. To see how much your rate improved between two seasons, use the percentage change calculator.

FAQs

How do I calculate my winning percentage?

Divide your wins by the total number of games and multiply by 100. A 10-5 record is 10 ÷ 15 × 100 = 66.67%.

How are ties counted in a winning percentage?

The standard sports convention counts a tie as half a win: Winning % = (Wins + 0.5 × Ties) ÷ Total games × 100. A 10-5-3 record is (10 + 1.5) ÷ 18 × 100 = 63.89%.

What is a good win rate?

Anything above 50% means you win more than you lose. In most professional leagues, sustained rates above 60% are strong and above 70% are elite — but context (opponent strength, sample size) matters more than the raw number.

How is win rate different from win-loss ratio?

Win rate is wins as a percentage of all games (10-5 → 66.67%). Win-loss ratio divides wins by losses only (10 ÷ 5 = 2.0). The same record produces different-looking numbers.

How many games do I need to win to reach a target percentage?

Because each new game changes the total, work incrementally: with a 10-5 record (66.67%), winning three straight gives 13-5 (72.2%). Enter each scenario in the calculator to test it.
