FAQ
How does the engagement rate calculator work?
Brands price sponsorships off engagement rate, but they rarely agree on the denominator. Rate by reach is the honest one: it tells you how many people who actually saw the post did something about it. The underlying maths is: ER by followers = (Likes + Comments + Saves + Shares) ÷ Followers × 100.
What do I need to enter?
5 values: followers, reach per post, likes, comments, and saves + shares. Each field starts with a sensible default, so you can change one number at a time and watch the result move.
What does the engagement rate (followers) result mean?
It is returned as a percentage and updates live as you edit the inputs, so you can compare two or three versions of a scenario in a few seconds.
