Email Open Rate and Click Rate Calculator by TheCalcTools

How the Email Open Rate and Click Rate Calculator works

Delivered = sent − bounced. Rates use delivered emails as the base.

Click-to-open rate divides clicks by opens to show how engaging the content was for people who opened.

Compare against your own benchmark, because industry averages differ and open tracking is unreliable.

The formula

Open rate = unique opens ÷ deliveredClick-to-open rate = unique clicks ÷ unique opens

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator:

Emails sent10000
Bounced emails150
Unique opens3200
Unique clicks280
Unsubscribes18
Your benchmark open rate30 %
Your benchmark click rate2.5 %
  1. 10,000 sent − 150 bounced = 9,850 delivered. Opens 3,200 ÷ 9,850 = 32.49%.
  2. Clicks 280 gives 2.84% click rate and 8.75% click-to-open. Unsubscribes 0.18%.

Result:

Delivered9,850
Open rate (of delivered)32.49%
Click-through rate (of delivered)2.84%
Click-to-open rate8.75%
Bounce rate1.50%
Unsubscribe rate0.18%
Open rate vs your benchmark (points)2.5
Click rate vs your benchmark (points)0.34

Frequently asked questions

What is a good email open rate?

It depends on your list and industry. Because Apple Mail Privacy Protection counts machine opens, many marketers now watch click rate and replies more than opens.

What is a healthy bounce rate?

Under 2% is usually healthy. High bounces mean an old or purchased list.
