Accuracy is a percentile measurement of a player's ability to hit hit objects on time. There are three types of accuracy that a player can have: the beatmap's accuracy, which is dependent on hit scores gained; the player's overall accuracy, which is weighed to allow better scores to stand out more; and the player's Performance Points (pp) accuracy, which is dependent on the submitted score's accuracy.
Accuracy formula for osu!
In osu!, accuracy is calculated by weighting the judgement gained from each hit object by its value and divided by the maximum possible amount.
Reference for one hit circle:
300 -> 300 / 300 = 1 = 100.00%
100 -> 100 / 300 = 1/3 = 33.33%
50 -> 50 / 300 = 1/6 = 16.67%
0 -> 0 / 300 = 0 = 0.00%
Accuracy formula for osu!taiko
In osu!taiko, accuracy is calculated by taking the sum of the note accuracy (how close you were to hitting the note on time) divided by the number of total notes scored thus far. The note accuracies are labelled as a GREAT (良) (counts as 100%), GOOD (可) (counts as 50%) (half), and MISS/BAD (不可) (counts as 0%, which also breaks the combo). Drum rolls and spinners do not influence accuracy.
Accuracy formula for osu!catch
In osu!catch, accuracy is calculated by taking the total number of non-spinner hit objects collected, divided by the total number of non-spinner objects. All hit objects have the same value; except for bananas, as they are part of the spinner objects.

should not be used to calculate the accuracy at all. It is the count of caught combo-ending fruits.In osu!mania, accuracy is calculated similarly to osu!. However, the weighting of rainbow 300s (also referred to as MAX results) depends on whether ScoreV2 is active.
Without ScoreV2 active, rainbow 300s and gold 300s have an equal weight of 300:

ScoreV2 increases the weighting of rainbow 300s to 305:

.Performance graph
The performance graph is a chart that displays the player's performance (based on their life bar) over the course of a play (time). Additional information can be shown when hovering the in-game cursor over it.
Note: The additional information can only be viewed after playing a beatmap or watching a replay. After exiting the results screen, this information will not be saved.
When hovering over the performance graph, a tooltip is displayed with an Error
and Unstable Rate
rating.
Due to the way the DT (Double Time) and HT (Half Time) mods are implemented, the error and unstable rate values will be multiplied by the same factor as the song. To get the true values when playing with the DT mod, divide the results by 1.5. Similarly, multiply the results by 1.33 when playing with the HT mod.
Error
will always display two values that represent how far off the early hits were on average and how far off the late hits were on average. The higher the Overall Difficulty value of the beatmap is, the lower the error values will have to be to do well when playing the beatmap.
Main page: Unstable rate
Unstable Rate
(UR) displays the standard deviation of hit errors, in tenths of a millisecond. A lower UR indicates greater consistency.
Note that consistency is not the same thing as accuracy. While low UR often comes as the result of accurate play, it is possible to get very low UR at the same time as very low accuracy. For example, a player could hit every object late enough to get a 50, but with consistent errors.
Note: Spin is only used for the osu! game mode.
In addition to the accuracy, some information regarding spinners is also seen in the same tooltip.
Speed represents the average RPM (revolutions per minute) on all the spinners in the beatmap. Max
is the highest RPM the player achieved in any of the beatmap's spinners.
