How it works

How we calculate this

Every figure is an estimate from public benchmarks and the numbers you enter. Treat it as a starting point; we'll check it against your real data on a call.

  1. 01Engagement rate is (likes + comments + shares and saves) per post, divided by followers, times 100. This is the 'by followers' method most tools use.
  2. 02Use averages from your last 9 to 12 organic posts. Boosted posts inflate the figure.
  3. 03Benchmarks are rough guides that vary by sector and account size: Instagram about 0.5% typical and 1.5% strong, Facebook 0.15% and 0.5%, TikTok 2.5% and 5%, LinkedIn 1% and 3%.
  4. 04Smaller accounts usually have higher rates than large ones, so compare yourself with similar-sized competitors too.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate engagement rate?

Add up the likes, comments, shares and saves on a post, divide by your follower count and multiply by 100. Average it across recent posts for a fair figure.

What is a good engagement rate on Instagram?

Around 0.5% is typical for business accounts and 1.5% or more is strong. Small, local accounts with an engaged community often beat that comfortably.

Why is my engagement rate dropping as I grow?

It is normal for the rate to fall as follower counts rise, because not every new follower sees every post. What matters is whether total engagements and enquiries keep growing.

Does engagement rate lead to sales?

Not on its own. Engagement tells the platform to show your content to more people. Turning that reach into enquiries needs clear offers, a good landing page and fast replies to DMs.
