FAQ

How is Instagram engagement rate calculated?

Engagement rate by reach is the gold standard: ((likes + comments + saves + shares) / reach) * 100. If you only have follower count, use ((likes + comments) / followers) * 100. The first formula is more honest because it accounts for the actual people who saw the post.

What is a good Instagram engagement rate?

Across all account sizes, the Instagram average is 1.5-3%. Anything above 3% is great, above 5% is excellent. Nano accounts (under 10K) can hit 8%+, while celebrities often see 0.5-1.5% due to large but passive audiences.

Reels vs Posts vs Stories: which has the highest engagement?

Reels: 1.5-3% (highest reach but algorithmic). Posts: 1-2.5% (most consistent). Stories: 0.5-1% (smaller numerator since reach is the denominator). Reels usually win on both reach and engagement combined.

Does my data get saved?

No. Everything runs in your browser. We do not log, store, or transmit any number you enter.

What is a good YouTube engagement rate?

YouTube engagement is naturally lower than TikTok or Instagram because viewers passively consume long-form video. 1% is average, 2-4% is good, anything above 4% is excellent. Per-video engagement (likes + comments / views) matters more than per-subscriber engagement on YouTube.
