Frequently Asked Questions
How is engagement rate calculated?

The standard formula is (likes + comments + shares) / followers x 100. This gives the percentage of your audience that engaged with the post.

What is a good engagement rate?

It varies by platform and account size. On Instagram, 1-3% is average. Micro-influencers often achieve 3-6%. Rates above 6% are considered high.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All calculation happens in your browser. Nothing is transmitted.

Does it work for all platforms?

Yes. The formula works for any social media platform. Enter the relevant metrics and the tool calculates the rate.

What is the impressions-based formula?

Instead of dividing by followers, you divide by impressions (total views). This gives a more accurate rate for individual posts since not all followers see every post.
