Works for Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or any platform — engagement rate relative to your follower count.
- Free, updates instantly as you type
- Per-post and reach-based rate
"By followers" divides total engagements by your follower count — the most common definition. If you enter views, "by views" divides by views instead, which better reflects actual reach on platforms like YouTube or TikTok.
Frequently asked questions
How is engagement rate calculated?
Engagement rate (by followers) = (Likes + Comments + Shares + Saves) ÷ Followers × 100. If you provide views, engagement rate (by views) uses views as the denominator instead of followers.
What's a "good" engagement rate?
It varies a lot by platform, niche, and audience size — smaller accounts often see higher rates than large ones. Treat any single benchmark number with caution and instead compare your own posts against each other over time.
Should I use "by followers" or "by views"?
"By followers" is the standard for comparing accounts. "By views" (or reach) better reflects how engaging a specific piece of content was to the people who actually saw it, which can differ a lot from your total follower count.
