Formula: (likes + comments + saves) / followers x 100. Ratings use common industry benchmarks and are a guide, not a rule.
How to use
- Enter your follower count.
- Enter likes, comments and saves for one post, or averages across your recent posts.
- Your engagement rate, quality rating and benchmark comparison appear instantly.
Note: Engagement rate = (likes + comments + saves) / followers x 100. For average mode, add up the last 10 to 15 posts and enter the averages.
Tips
- Ask a real question in captions — comments move the needle more than likes.
- Carousel posts tend to earn more saves, which lift your rate.
- Reply to early comments quickly to push the post wider.
- Compare your own posts over time rather than chasing other people rates.
