About the Social Media Engagement Rate Calculator

Add likes, comments, shares and saves plus followers or reach to get your engagement rate.

How it works

Engagement rate (by followers) = total engagements ÷ followers × 100. By reach = total engagements ÷ reach × 100. Benchmarks are rough ranges and vary widely by niche and account size.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better: by followers or by reach?

By reach reflects how people who actually saw the post reacted, so it is better for judging content.
