Choose whether to calculate against followers (traditional engagement rate) or views (reach-based engagement, common for TikTok and Reels where content reaches beyond followers), enter your numbers, and get an instant rate with a general benchmark for context.

Frequently asked questions
How is engagement rate calculated?
Add up likes, comments, and shares/saves, then divide by your follower count (or view count for reach-based engagement) and multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
Should I calculate against followers or views?
Follower-based engagement is the traditional metric; view-based (reach) engagement is often more relevant for platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, where content regularly reaches far beyond your follower count via recommendation algorithms.
What's considered a good engagement rate?
This varies significantly by platform, niche, and follower count (smaller accounts often see higher rates) — the benchmark shown here is a rough general guide, not a definitive industry standard.
Does this include story views, saves, or DMs?
The calculator uses likes, comments, and a general shares/saves field — add saves or shares into that field if your platform tracks them separately, since deeper engagement types generally count in most engagement definitions.
Can I use this for a single post or an account average?
Both — run it once per post for post-level engagement, or use averaged totals across multiple posts for an account-level estimate.
