Engagement Rate Calculator (Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn) by TheCalcTools
How the Engagement Rate Calculator (Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn) works
Engagement rate = interactions ÷ audience. Dividing by followers compares accounts; dividing by reach shows how compelling the post was to the people who actually saw it.
Platforms differ in what counts and in typical rates; compare like with like (same platform, similar audience size).
The formula
