Engagement Rate Calculator

Engagement Rate = (Likes + Comments + Shares) / Followers × 100.

What this calculator does

1–3%: average. 3–6%: good. 6%+: excellent.

How it works

Nano-influencers (1K–10K) typically have 5–8% ER vs 1–2% for mega-influencers.

When to use this calculator

Use this calculator when estimating the monetisation potential of a channel or account before committing significant time or investment to growing it. Revenue estimates help set realistic expectations for content creator economics.

Common mistakes

The most common mistake is treating revenue estimates as guaranteed income. CPM and RPM rates vary enormously by niche, audience geography, and platform policy changes. Use estimates for planning and scenario modelling, not for financial commitments.

Real-world scenarios

A TikTok creator tracks monthly estimated earnings as their account grows from 10,000 to 100,000 followers over 6 months. Plotting the trajectory against the calculated estimates at each milestone shows whether growth rate is on track for a specific income target.
