THE NUMBERS, EXPLAINED
How to use this calculator.
Reports strict wins/all matches and the supplied points convention separately. Losses score zero; draw points cannot exceed win points.
Start with your inputs
Enter wins (count), losses (count), draws (count), points per win, points per draw. Keep amounts in the units shown on each field. The example is a starting point, not a recommended value.
| Input | Example value |
|---|---|
| Wins (count) | 8 |
| Losses (count) | 4 |
| Draws (count) | 4 |
| Points per win | 3 |
| Points per draw | 1 |
A worked example
With the example inputs above, strict win percentage (%) is 50. Change the inputs to explore your own scenario.
| Result | Example answer |
|---|---|
| Strict win percentage (%) | 50 |
| Points earned | 28 |
| Maximum-points fraction (%) | 58.333333 |
How this is calculated
Strict win percentage (%)
Divide wins by all played matches.
Points earned
Multiply outcomes by supplied point values.
Maximum-points fraction (%)
Divide earned points by points for winning every match.

Assumptions and limits
Reports strict wins/all matches and the supplied points convention separately. Losses score zero; draw points cannot exceed win points.
Calculations use the values you enter. Blank or invalid inputs show an error instead of silently substituting zero. Results are displayed to useful precision; calculations retain the underlying numeric precision.
Questions about this tool
What does the result tell me?
Strict win percentage (%); Points earned; Maximum-points fraction (%). The result applies to the method and inputs described above. Check the units and assumptions before using it in a decision.
Why might another calculator differ?
Differences in units, rounding, timing or model definitions can produce different answers. Compare the input definitions and the method, rather than only the final number. For this tool: Reports strict wins/all matches and the supplied points convention separately. Losses score zero; draw points cannot exceed win points.
Are my inputs stored or sent to AI?
