Calculate field goal distance from the line of scrimmage: add 17 yards in the NFL or college (10-yard end zone plus 7-yard hold), or work back to the spot.

Yards from the goal line you are kicking at, e.g. 35 for the opponent’s 35.

NFL, college and high school posts sit 10 yards behind the goal line. The answer is the kick distance, not the ball’s flight path or a success prediction.
