Free Dart Rate Calculator: Calculate Your PPD

Whether you are a casual pub player or an aspiring professional, tracking your statistics is crucial for improvement in the game of darts. The most common metric for measuring scoring proficiency in '01 games (like 301, 501, or 701) is PPD, or Points Per Dart.

This free Dart Rate Calculator helps you instantly determine your PPD. By knowing your average score for every dart thrown, you can set realistic goals, track your progress over time, and compare your performance against other players or league benchmarks.

Calculate Your Points Per Dart (PPD)

The total amount of points you scored in a leg, match, or session.
How many darts it took you to score those points.

PPD: 0.00

3-Dart Average: 0.00

Understanding Your PPD

Your Points Per Dart rate is a direct reflection of your scoring power. While finishing (doubles) is vital to winning, a high PPD ensures you reach a finish first.

  • How it's calculated: The formula is very simple: Total Points Scored รท Total Darts Thrown.
  • Example: If you play a game of 501 and check out in 21 darts, your PPD is 501 / 21 = 23.86 PPD.
  • 3-Dart Average: Often, players refer to their "average," which usually means their score per turn (3 darts). To get this, simply multiply your PPD by 3. In the example above, the 3-dart average is 23.86 * 3 = 71.58.

Use this calculator regularly after practice sessions or matches to keep a consistent eye on your development.
