Enter the total number of good passes, playable passes, and passing errors into the calculator to determine the volleyball passing percentage.

## Volleyball Passing Percentage Formula

The following equation is used to calculate the Volleyball Passing Percentage.

PP = (PG + PP) / (TA) *100
TA = PG + PP + PE
• Where PP is the passing percentage (%)
• PG is the number of good passes
• PP is the number of playable passes
• PE is the number of passing errors
• TA is the total number of attempts = PG + PP + PE

To calculate the volleyball passing percentage, sum the number of good and playable passes, divide by the number of attempts, then multiply by 100.

## How to Calculate Volleyball Passing Percentage?

Example Problem:

The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Volleyball Passing Percentage.

First, determine the total number of good passes. For this example, the number of good passes is 500.

Next, determine the number of playable passes. In this case, the number of playable passes is 700.

Next, determine the number of passing errors. For this example, the number of passing errors is 300.

Finally, calculate the volleyball passing percentage using the formula above:

PP = (PG + PP) / (TA) *100

PP = (500 + 700) / (500+700+300) *100

PP = 80%
