How it works
How to calculate engagement rate
Engagement rate measures how much your audience actually interacts with your content, not just how many followers you have. The tool uses the classic formula: rate = (likes + comments) divided by followers, multiplied by 100. You enter those three numbers and it returns the percentage instantly, plus a comparison against your niche average.
In practice: a profile with 12,000 followers that gets 480 likes and 60 comments per post has (480 + 60) / 12,000 x 100 = 4.5% engagement. That number is already considered strong, because small profiles tend to engage more than giant ones, where the rate naturally drops as the follower base grows.
Tip for BR e-commerce: when closing a sponsored post or partnership, bring the average rate across several recent posts, not just your one viral post. Brands want consistency. An 8,000-follower profile at 5% lands more deals than a 50,000-follower one at 1%, because it delivers an audience that actually buys.
