What is Engagement Rate?

Engagement rate is THE metric that matters on Instagram. It's not about how many followers you have—it's about how many of them actually care. The formula is simple: (Likes + Comments) ÷ Followers × 100 = Your Engagement Rate. A high engagement rate means your content resonates. Brands look at this number before every collaboration. Instagram's algorithm favors it. And honestly? It's a better measure of success than your follower count. Whether you're a creator trying to land partnerships or a brand evaluating influencers, this calculator tells you the truth about account quality in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's a good engagement rate on Instagram?

Between 1-3% is average, 3-6% is good, and above 6% is excellent. But remember: the more followers you have, the lower your rate typically gets. Micro-influencers often have higher engagement than celebrities.

How do I calculate my average likes and comments?

Look at your last 10-12 posts (excluding Reels for consistency). Add up all the likes, divide by the number of posts. Do the same for comments. That's your average.

Should I include saves and shares?

The basic formula uses likes + comments. For a more comprehensive rate, you can add saves and shares, but these aren't visible to others. Our calculator uses the standard public metrics formula.

Why is my engagement rate dropping?

Common reasons: buying followers (they don't engage), posting at wrong times, content not resonating, or algorithm changes. Sometimes a dip is normal—focus on the trend over months, not days.

Do brands really care about engagement rate?

Absolutely. Smart brands prioritize engagement over follower count. A creator with 10K followers and 8% engagement is more valuable than one with 100K followers and 0.5% engagement.
