NFL Passer Rating Calculator Description

What is the NFL Passer Rating?

The NFL passer rating is a statistical formula used to assess the performance of quarterbacks by converting their passing stats into a single, standardized number.

Core Metrics Involved

  • Completion Percentage
  • Yards Per Attempt
  • Touchdowns Per Attempt
  • Interceptions Per Attempt

Mathematical Formula

Component A = ((Completions / Attempts) - 0.3) * 5
Component B = ((Yards / Attempts) - 3) * 0.25
Component C = (Touchdowns / Attempts) * 20
Component D = 2.375 - ((Interceptions / Attempts) * 25)

Each component is capped between 0 and 2.375.

Passer Rating = ((A + B + C + D) / 6) * 100

Key Insights

  • The formula blends accuracy, efficiency, scoring, and ball security into a unified score.
  • Each stat is normalized to reduce bias toward any single metric.
  • It does not account for rushing performance or game context.

Edge Cases to Know

  • 0 Attempts: Rating is undefined; division by zero occurs.
  • No TDs or INTs: High rating still possible with strong accuracy and yardage.
  • Yardage without Efficiency: High yards alone won’t boost rating if accuracy is poor.
  • Perfect Game: Achieved by hitting the cap in all four formula components.
  • Component Clipping: Any negative component is automatically set to 0.

Frequently Asked Questions

A passer rating of 100 or above is considered excellent in the NFL. Elite quarterbacks often maintain ratings above 105 over a season.

Passer rating is calculated using a weighted formula based on completions per attempt, yards per attempt, touchdowns per attempt, and interceptions per attempt. Each component is scaled between 0 and 2.375, then combined into a final rating between 0 and 158.3.

If a quarterback has zero passing attempts, the passer rating is undefined due to division by zero. The result should be displayed as 'N/A'.

Yes. If completion percentage and yards per attempt are high, and no interceptions are thrown, the rating can still be relatively strong even without touchdowns.

The maximum is 158.3, representing near-perfect efficiency. The minimum is 0.0, typically reflecting poor performance across all components.

The formula was designed with scaled limits on each component (max 2.375). Summing four maxed components and applying the rating formula yields exactly 158.3.

Unlike the NFL passer rating, which is purely formulaic and stat-based, QBR includes situational context like down, distance, game pressure, and rushing plays for a more holistic view.
