Darts Score Formula
The calculator uses simple addition and subtraction for a 3-dart turn. Enter exactly three values and leave the value you want to find blank.
T = D1 + D2 + D3
D1 = T - D2 - D3
D2 = T - D1 - D3
D3 = T - D1 - D2
- T = turn total for 3 darts
- D1 = score from dart 1
- D2 = score from dart 2
- D3 = score from dart 3
If the turn total is missing, the calculator adds the three dart scores. If one dart score is missing, it subtracts the other two dart scores from the turn total. The calculator expects whole-number scores, with each dart usually between 0 and 60 and the full 3-dart turn between 0 and 180.
Common Dart Score Values
Use these values to check whether a single-dart score is reasonable.
| Hit Type | Score Rule | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Single | Face value | Single 20 = 20 |
| Double | 2 × face value | Double 20 = 40 |
| Triple | 3 × face value | Triple 20 = 60 |
| Outer bull | Fixed score | Outer bull = 25 |
| Bullseye | Fixed score | Bullseye = 50 |
| Miss | No score | Miss = 0 |
Typical 3-Dart Turn Totals
| Turn Total | Meaning | Possible Dart Scores |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | No points scored | 0 + 0 + 0 |
| 60 | One maximum single-dart score, or several lower hits | 60 + 0 + 0, or 20 + 20 + 20 |
| 100 | Common strong turn | 60 + 20 + 20 |
| 140 | Very strong turn | 60 + 60 + 20 |
| 180 | Maximum 3-dart score | 60 + 60 + 60 |
Example Problems
Example 1: Find the turn total
You score 20, 60, and 5 with your three darts.
T = 20 + 60 + 5 = 85
The turn total is 85.
Example 2: Find a missing dart score
Your turn total is 121. Dart 1 scored 60 and Dart 2 scored 25. Find Dart 3.
D3 = 121 - 60 - 25 = 36
Dart 3 scored 36.
FAQ
What is the highest score for one dart?
The highest score for one dart is 60, which is triple 20. The bullseye is worth 50, so it is not the highest single-dart score.
What is the highest score for a 3-dart turn?
The highest possible 3-dart turn is 180. This happens when all three darts hit triple 20.
Can a dart score be a decimal?
No. Dart scores are whole numbers. A dart can score 0, a single value, a double value, a triple value, 25 for the outer bull, or 50 for the bullseye.
