The softball ERA calculator is designed for softball pitching lines, especially common 7-inning formats.

Many softball leagues use 7 frames for ERA. If your league uses another regulation length, use that number instead.

For a 7-frame game, the calculation is earned runs x 7 / IP.

A pitcher allows 1 earned run in 4 frames during a 7-frame softball game. The ERA is 1 x 7 / 4 = 1.75.

Open the ERA calculator, set game length to 7, and enter the softball pitching line.
