Use Cases

Track a goalie's performance

Use this calculator to quickly compute a goalie's save percentage after a game or season, helping you evaluate performance.

Example: After a game with 30 saves and 2 goals against, the save percentage is 30/(30+2) = 93.75%.

Compare goalies

Calculate save percentages for different goalies to compare their effectiveness, even if they faced different shot counts.

Example: Compare a goalie with 20 saves and 3 goals against (86.96%) to one with 35 saves and 5 goals against (87.5%).

Frequently Asked Questions

How is save percentage calculated?
Save percentage is calculated by dividing the number of saves by the total shots faced (saves + goals against). For example, if a goalie has 25 saves and 5 goals against, the save percentage is 25 / (25+5) = 0.833, or 83.3%.
What is a good save percentage?
In hockey, a save percentage above .900 is considered good, while elite goalies often exceed .920. In soccer, a save percentage above 70% is generally solid. However, context like league and shot quality matters.
Can I use this calculator for soccer goalies?
Yes, the formula is the same for any sport: saves divided by shots on target. Enter the number of saves and goals against to get the save percentage.

Tips & Common Mistakes

Tips

  • Ensure you enter saves and goals against for the same time period (e.g., one game or one season) to get a meaningful save percentage.
  • Remember that save percentage is a ratio, so a goalie with few shots can have a high percentage but may not have faced as much pressure.
  • Use this calculator to track trends over time—compare a goalie's save percentage across multiple games to see consistency.
  • For a more complete picture, consider other stats like goals against average (GAA) or quality starts.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to include goals against in the total shots faced. The denominator is saves + goals against, not just saves.
  • Using total shots on goal instead of shots on target. Only shots that would have been goals if not saved count as saves.
  • Entering goals against as goals allowed per game (GAA) instead of total goals against for the period.
