Free tool

Engagement rate calculator

Your rate, next to the range that makes it mean something at your size.

Free, no signup

This free tool does not know your brand. The version inside the product reads your website first.

How it works

Enter your follower count and the reactions on one post. You get the rate and the normal range for accounts your size, which is the part that answers the question you actually have. A 3% rate is excellent at 100k followers and unremarkable at 1k, so the number on its own tells you nothing. The maths happens on the page: the figures you type are never sent anywhere.

What you actually get

Your engagement rate, calculated the same way every time.

The normal range for your follower band beside it.

Five things that make this work better

  1. Compare against your own follower band, not a global average. Rates fall as accounts grow, so a global average flatters big accounts and punishes small ones.
  2. Calculate on reach wherever the platform gives you reach. Follower-based rates are inflated on any account carrying dormant followers.
  3. Track the trend, not the number. One post tells you almost nothing; six weeks of posts tell you whether something changed.
  4. Saves and shares move reach further than likes on most platforms. If you can only optimise for one, optimise for saves.
  5. A high rate on a tiny account is not a business. Rate is a diagnostic, not a goal: 12% on 400 followers is 48 people.

Questions people actually ask

Which formula do you use?

Reactions divided by followers, as a percentage. Where you have reach data, calculating on reach is the more honest number.

What is a good rate?

It depends on account size, which is why the band sits next to your result. There is no single good number.

Does it store my numbers?

No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing is sent to us.

Your next post is already trending somewhere.
