ADR Calculator
Average damage per round, or ADR, captures impact beyond just kills. Enter total damage dealt and rounds played.
Calculate adr
Fill in the fields and select Calculate.
What you'll need
To use the adr calculator, have these figures ready:
- Total damage — for example, 2100.
- Rounds played — for example, 24.
The calculator then returns the adr the moment you press calculate.
How it works
ADR = total damage ÷ rounds played
You enter the total damage and rounds played, and the calculator returns the adr using the formula above.
When to Use
Use the ADR (Average Damage per Round) calculator to evaluate a player's combat output in round-based FPS games like CS2 and Valorant. ADR is considered more reliable than K/D for measuring impact because it accounts for all damage dealt, not just kills. A player who consistently deals high damage makes it easier for teammates to finish off weakened opponents.
What the result tells you
ADR rewards the damage that sets up teammates even when you do not get the kill, which is why analysts often prefer it to a raw kill count. An ADR around 80 is solid in tactical shooters and the best fraggers push past 100, showing consistent round to round impact.
Benchmarks & Interpretation
Here is how typical results are categorized and interpreted:
| Value / Range | Rating | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Below 60 | Low | Minimal damage output. The player is not engaging enough. |
| 60 – 75 | Below average | Some contribution but not pulling their weight. |
| 75 – 85 | Average | A standard ADR for competitive players. |
| 85 – 100 | Good | Above-average damage output. A consistent contributor. |
| 100+ | Elite | Dealing over 100 damage per round on average — dominant performance. |
Pro Tips & Advice
To increase your ADR, be more proactive in engagements rather than playing passively. Utility damage (molotovs, grenades) adds up over the course of a match and can significantly boost ADR. On CT side, take aggressive peeks when appropriate rather than always waiting for the enemy to come to you. On T side, be the one creating space for your team through entry duels and trades. Review your demos to identify rounds where you dealt zero damage — those are opportunities where better positioning or timing could have created engagements.

Worked example
2100 damage over 24 rounds is 2100 ÷ 24, about 87.5 a round.
Frequently asked questions
How is the adr worked out?
ADR = total damage ÷ rounds played. Average damage per round, or ADR, captures impact beyond just kills. Enter total damage dealt and rounds played.
Why use ADR instead of kills?
Damage credits the work of softening enemies for teammates to finish, so ADR captures impact that a kill count alone misses.
Why is ADR better than K/D for measuring impact?
K/D only counts kills, so a player who deals 90 damage to multiple enemies but does not get the final shot gets no statistical credit. ADR captures all damage dealt, giving a more complete picture of a player's combat contribution.
What ADR is expected from professional players?
Professional CS2 players typically average 75-85 ADR. Star players and entry fraggers often exceed 85 ADR. An ADR above 100 in a professional match is an exceptional individual performance.
