It is total bases divide by number of at bats. The more bases you get the higher you slugging %. For example, a homerun is 4 bases. For that at bat his slugging is 4.000.

Correct. When a player is walked, hit by a pitch or hits a sacrifice, those do not count as an at bat, and therefore would not be counted in slugging percentage calculation at all. If a player goes up to bat 4 times, and is walked once, and gets a hit once, he would be 1 for 3. Bases/official at bats.

Its pretty simple... you know that batting average is the number of hits divided by the at bats. Slugging percentage is the total number of bases attained (i.e one for single, two for double, etc) divided by the at bats. A perfect slugging percentage would be 4.0 (all home runs every time!)

Here's what I found on eHow:
1. Add up all official at bats. Do not include those at bats that resulted in a walk, sacrifices or hit by pitch.
2. Add up total bases. Total bases are how many bases you reached in all the times you hit safely.
3. Divide total bases by official at bats.
4. Round to the third decimal place. For example, .57051 is .571.

It's got something to do with bases per at bat. Walks and errors I believe are included in this. ESPN.com search or google would definitely have the specific answer you are looking for.

SLG == (hits + doubles + 2*triples + 3*HR) / at-bats
conventionally to three decimals.
