Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate engagement rate?

The standard formula is total engagements (likes + comments + shares + saves) divided by your audience size, times 100. The audience denominator is usually followers, but reach or impressions give a truer picture since not everyone who follows you sees each post. This tool lets you pick the denominator.

What is a good engagement rate?

It varies sharply by platform. By followers, roughly: Instagram >1% is good (avg ~0.5%); TikTok >5% is good (avg ~2.5–3.7%); Facebook >0.15%; X >0.12%. LinkedIn is measured by impressions, where ~4%+ is strong. Smaller accounts (under 10K) usually post higher rates than large ones. Benchmarks here are based on RivalIQ and Socialinsider 2025–2026 data.

Should I measure by followers, reach, or impressions?

By followers is the standard for comparing accounts and vetting influencers. By reach or impressions is more accurate for judging a specific post, because it measures engagement against people who actually saw it. Paid/sponsored content is usually priced on the impressions version.

Which interactions count as engagement?

Likes, comments, shares, and saves are the core set. The exact mix differs by platform — TikTok prominently counts saves and is best measured by views; X counts likes and reposts; LinkedIn weights comments and is benchmarked by impressions. Enter what you have and the tool sums them.
