Short Example
If a post receives 120 likes, 30 comments and 50 shares, and the account has 5,000 followers, the calculator computes: (120+30+50) ÷ 5,000 × 100 = 4.0% engagement rate.
Essential Notes
- Use the same audience metric (followers, reach, or impressions) for consistent results.
- Higher rates indicate stronger audience interaction, but benchmarks vary by platform.
