Measure how engaged your social media audience is by calculating your engagement rate across likes, comments, and shares. Simply enter your post interactions and total follower count to instantly see how well your content resonates with your audience.

How to use this calculator

  • 1. Enter the total number of likes on your posts
  • 2. Enter the total number of comments

Example Calculation

Suppose you have 300 likes, 50 comments, and 20 shares, with a total of 5,000 followers.

  • Total Interactions: 300 + 50 + 20 = 370
  • Engagement Rate: (370 ÷ 5,000) × 100 = 7.4%

This means about 7.4% of your audience is actively engaging with your content—a solid indicator of relevance and interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a “good” engagement rate?

Benchmarks vary by platform and industry, but higher is always better. Some brands see success at around 2-3%, while others aim for 5% or more. Watch your engagement trends over time to see what's working.

How can I improve my engagement rate?

Focus on quality content and consistent posting schedules. Interact with your audience by replying to comments and encouraging user-generated content. Experimenting with different formats—images, videos, or stories—can also boost engagement.

Should I track each post or my overall profile?

Both! Post-level engagement helps you see which types of content resonate most, while an overall engagement average provides a broader picture of your social media performance.
