Instagram Engagement Rate Calculator

We use the industry-standard post interaction formula: ((Average Likes + Average Comments) / Total Followers) × 100. This metric shows what percentage of your follower base actively engages with your content.

Across Instagram, an engagement rate between 1.5% and 3.5% is considered average to great for mid-sized accounts. Smaller creator accounts (under 5,000 followers) typically achieve higher rates (5% to 8%), while accounts over 100,000 followers often normalize between 1.2% and 1.8%.
