What Is A Pass Completion Percentage Calculator?
A pass completion percentage calculator measures how accurate a player’s passing is. Pass completion percentage, also called pass accuracy, is the share of attempted passes that reach a teammate. It’s one of the most common football stats on TV graphics, in match reports and in player scouting.
This pass completion percentage calculator goes further than the basic sum. It compares your figure with a typical range for your position, so a striker isn’t judged against a centre-back. It can split passes by length, combine up to 15 matches the right way, and tell you how many completed passes in a row you’d need to reach a target.
Pass Completion Percentage Examples
| Completed | Attempted | Missed | Pass % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42 | 50 | 8 | 84.0% |
| 30 | 40 | 10 | 75.0% |
| 55 | 60 | 5 | 91.7% |
| 18 | 30 | 12 | 60.0% |
| 68 | 72 | 4 | 94.4% |
| 21 | 35 | 14 | 60.0% |
Pass % = completed ÷ attempted × 100. For any other numbers, use the pass completion percentage calculator above.
What Is A Good Pass Completion Percentage By Position?
Typical ranges for players in top professional leagues.
| Position | Typical % | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | 62–76% | Many long goal kicks and clearances |
| Centre-Back | 85–92% | Lots of short, safe passes |
| Full-Back | 76–84% | Crosses and passes in tight wide areas |
| Defensive Midfielder | 85–91% | Keeps the ball moving |
| Central Midfielder | 82–89% | Mix of safe and forward passes |
| Attacking Midfielder | 75–84% | Risky, creative passes |
| Winger | 72–80% | Crosses and passes in the final third |
| Striker | 65–76% | Passing under pressure, back to goal |
These ranges are a rough guide and change with team style: possession teams have higher figures than direct, long-ball teams. The goalkeeper range is in line with Opta data showing Premier League keepers averaged around 69% in recent seasons. Amateur and youth players are usually lower.
Short, Medium And Long Pass Accuracy
The pass completion percentage calculator can split your passes by length.
Short Passes
5–15 yardsThe safest passes on the pitch. Top players often complete around 88–94% of them.
- Tip: use the inside of the foot and pass across the body
Medium Passes
15–30 yardsSwitches and passes into midfield. A typical top-level range is about 82–90%.
- Tip: lock the ankle and follow through towards the target
Long Passes
30+ yardsLong balls and diagonals are much harder. Even good passers often complete only 45–65%.
- Tip: strike through the middle of the ball for a flatter pass
Safe vs Risky
Context mattersA very high percentage can mean a player only plays safe sideways passes. Creative passes fail more often.
- Tip: look at forward passes and chances created too
How To Improve Your Pass Completion
- Scan over your shoulder before the ball arrives so you know your options.
- Open your body so you can pass forwards and sideways.
- Play the simple pass when you’re under pressure.
- Pass to a teammate’s stronger foot and in front of them when they’re running.
- Practise one- and two-touch passing in small-sided games.
- Work on your weaker foot so defenders can’t force you into bad passes.
- Weight long passes carefully: hard enough to arrive, soft enough to control.
- Track your passing over several matches with the pass completion percentage calculator.
