About the NFL Passer Rating Calculator
Enter pass attempts, completions, passing yards, touchdowns and interceptions. The calculator gives the official NFL passer rating, from 0 to 158.3.
The NFL passer rating combines four per-attempt measures, each capped between 0 and 2.375: completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdowns per attempt and interceptions per attempt. The result runs from 0 to a 'perfect' 158.3. It is the official NFL formula; college football uses a different scale.
The formula
Rating = (a + b + c + d) ÷ 6 × 100 with a = (C/A − 0.3)×5, b = (Y/A − 3)×0.25, c = TD/A × 20, d = 2.375 − INT/A × 25
Worked example
20 of 30 for 250 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception
- Completion 66.7%, 8.33 yards per attempt
- Four capped parts: 1.833 + 1.333 + 1.333 + 1.542
- ÷ 6 × 100 = 100.7
