Frequently asked questions

45 ÷ 75 = 0.600, shown as 60%. Winning percentage is just the share of decided games a team wins when there are no ties.

A tie is literally half a win and half a loss in the standings math used by the NFL and NHL, so a 7-7-1 team has the same percentage as an 7.5-win team over 15 games.

North American standings usually print it as a decimal to three places — .600 — while most other contexts use a percent. This calculator shows the percent form; divide by 100 for the decimal form.

No. Even counting ties as half-wins, the numerator can never exceed games played, so an undefeated team tops out at exactly 100% (or 1.000).

Choose 'Exclude ties entirely' only if your league drops ties from the record completely. If ties count in games played but not as wins, that is the win-only variant — wins ÷ games played — used by some soccer tables before points systems.
