Darts average calculator
Enter what you scored and how many darts it took. The three-dart average is the number every darts player is really measured by, and the table below shows where yours sits.
What counts as a good darts average
Averages are not evenly spread. Going from 40 to 60 is a season of practice; going from 90 to 100 separates a very good club player from a touring professional.
| Level | 3-dart average | What it looks like |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 20–35 | Finding the board. A 501 leg takes 45 darts or more. |
| Casual / pub | 35–50 | Hitting 20s reliably, the odd 60. A leg in roughly 30–40 darts. |
| Club player | 50–70 | Regular trebles, checkouts you actually know. 21–30 darts a leg. |
| Strong club / county | 70–85 | Multiple 100+ visits per leg, doubles under pressure. 18–21 darts. |
| Semi-professional | 85–95 | 180s appear. Legs in 15–18 darts, checkouts from anywhere. |
| Professional tour | 95–105 | The PDC standard. A 12–15 dart leg is expected, not celebrated. |
| World class | 105+ | Title-winning form. Very few players hold this over a match. |
How the three-dart average works
Divide the points you scored by the darts you threw, then multiply by three. Score 180 with nine darts and your average is 60. It is measured per dart rather than per visit so that a leg finished on the second dart is not penalised, which is exactly why it is the fairest single number in darts.

Open the online scorerWhat is a good darts average for a beginner?
Anything from 20 to 35 is normal when you start. Reaching 40 consistently already puts you ahead of most casual players.
What average do professionals hit?
Tour professionals average roughly 95 to 105 over a match. Above 105 is title-winning form and rare even at that level.
How do I calculate my average without a calculator?
Points divided by darts, times three. A 501 leg in 18 darts is 501 ÷ 18 × 3, which is 83.5.
Does a bust count against my average?
Yes. The darts are thrown, so they count, and the score does not. That is why a busted visit pulls an average down so sharply.
