Field Goal Distance Calculator

The Field Goal Distance Calculator is a tool used to estimate the distance a field goal kicker needs to kick the football in order to score.

Formula

The formula for calculating the field goal distance takes into account the line of scrimmage and the end zone.

Field Goal Distance = Line of Scrimmage + 17 yards + 10 yards – Depth of the Holder

Example

Let’s say the line of scrimmage is at the opponent’s 30-yard line, and the holder is positioned 7 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Using the formula, we can calculate the field goal distance:

Field Goal Distance = 30 yards + 17 yards + 10 yards – 7 yards = 50 yards

In this scenario, the field goal distance would be 50 yards, meaning the kicker would need to kick the football 50 yards to score a field goal.
