Free Instagram engagement calculator
Enter your followers, likes and comments. Get your engagement rate and a letter grade against accounts your size, in seconds.
Formula: (likes + comments + saves + shares) ÷ followers × 100. Grades compare your rate with rule-of-thumb ranges for accounts of your size. These are not official Instagram figures, and results vary by niche and content type. The calculator runs in your browser.
How the grade works
Every number on your report card comes from a formula you can check by hand.
Likes, comments, saves and shares on an average post. Saves and shares are optional.
Interactions ÷ followers × 100 gives your engagement rate. Add reach to see the rate by reach too.
Smaller accounts usually engage at higher rates, so your rate is graded against accounts in your follower range.
