Instagram engagement rate calculator
Find your Instagram engagement rate per post from your followers and the likes, comments, shares and saves on recent posts. The calculator shows interactions per post, comments per post and where your rate sits against a simple guide. It is free, needs no sign-up, and your numbers stay on your device.
How it works
Interactions = total likes + total comments + total shares and saves on the posts you counted. Interactions per post = interactions ÷ number of posts counted. Engagement rate per post = interactions per post ÷ followers × 100. Counting several recent posts gives a steadier figure than looking at one post alone.
The tool uses a rough guide: under 1% is low, 1% to 3.5% is average and above 3.5% is high. Smaller accounts usually score higher than large ones, so compare yourself mainly with accounts of a similar size. Some tools divide by reach instead of followers, which gives a different number.
How to use it
- Enter your follower count and the number of recent posts you counted.
- Add the total likes and total comments on those posts.
- Add the total shares and saves, then read your rate.
