How It Works

Passer rating boils a quarterback's passing line down to a single efficiency number, which is what makes it useful for stacking one performance against another. Because the formula is fixed (the NFL adopted it in 1973), it travels cleanly across games and seasons, giving you a common yardstick for comparing QBs.

Four inputs drive the result: completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdowns per attempt, and interceptions per attempt. Each is converted to a value somewhere between 0 and 2.375. Those four values are added together, multiplied by 100, and divided by 6 to produce the rating, which the formula caps at 158.3.

Feed the calculator raw totals rather than rates: attempts, completions, yards, touchdowns, and interceptions, not the percentages derived from them. Read the scale in the right direction too, since a higher number means a stronger outing, and 158.3 stands as the perfect score.

Example: A 25-of-35, 320-Yard, 3-Touchdown Game

  1. 1 Input: 25 completions, 35 attempts, 320 passing yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception.
  2. 2 Components: completions (25/35 − 0.3) × 5 = 2.071; yards (320/35 − 3) × 0.25 = 1.536; touchdowns (3/35) × 20 = 1.714; interceptions 2.375 − (1/35) × 25 = 1.661. None of them hits the 0 or 2.375 limit.
  3. 3 Rating: (2.071 + 1.536 + 1.714 + 1.661) ÷ 6 × 100 = 6.982 ÷ 6 × 100 = 116.4.
  4. 4 The calculator labels 116.4 Elite, its tier for ratings of 100 and above. A perfect 158.3 needs every component at 2.375: at least 77.5% completions, 12.5 yards per attempt and 11.875% touchdown passes, with no interceptions.

How is NFL passer rating calculated?
NFL passer rating uses four components: completion percentage, yards per attempt, touchdowns per attempt, and interceptions per attempt. Each is scaled to 0-2.375; the four values are added together, divided by 6, and multiplied by 100.
What is the difference between passer rating and QBR?
NFL passer rating uses only passing stats and maxes at 158.3. ESPN QBR (0-100) also factors in rushing, sacks taken, fumbles, and game context like down, distance, and score.
