Instagram engagement rate
Your rate by followers and by views, next to the number that gives it meaning.
Free, no signup
This free tool does not know your brand. The version inside the product reads your website first.
How it calculates
Add up likes, comments, shares, saves on one post. Divide by followers and multiply by 100 for the rate by followers. Divide by views for the rate by views. The first compares accounts, the second compares posts. The Instagram benchmark is 0.45 percent by followers (checked 2026-09-06).
What you actually get

Total interactions.

Five things that make this work better
- Calculate by views when you compare posts. Followers sleep, views do not.
- Calculate by followers when you compare accounts. That is how brands read your number.
- Take ten posts, not one. One post is weather, ten posts are climate.
- Saves and shares travel further than likes on Instagram. Optimise for them first.
- A high rate on a small account is a start, not a business. Count people, not percent.

Questions people actually ask
Which formula applies to Instagram?
likes, comments, shares, saves, added up, divided by followers, times 100. For the rate by views, the same sum divided by views.
Followers or views, which one is right?
Both, for different questions. By followers you compare accounts. By views you compare posts.
Where does the benchmark come from?
From the source shown next to the value, with a date. Where we have no solid number, we show none.
Do you store my numbers?
No. The calculation runs in your browser. Nothing is sent.
What do I do with a weak rate?
Post the formats that carry on your platform and check again after ten posts. MyTrendView shows you which trends fit your audience.
Your next post is already trending somewhere.
