What this tool does

Basic engagement rate from likes alone misses saves and shares — signals that often predict reach better than likes.

Calculate weighted engagement rate including comments, shares, and saves with platform benchmarks.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Enter follower count and post engagement metrics.

  2. 2

    Include saves and shares for a fuller engagement picture.

  3. 3

    Compare your rate to platform benchmarks and prior posts.

Weighted engagement metrics

Saves indicate content worth revisiting; shares extend reach beyond followers. Weight them accordingly when evaluating post performance.

Use the same formula consistently when comparing posts over time.

Tips

  • Include saves when available — Instagram and TikTok expose them in insights.
  • Compare advanced ER to basic ER to see which posts drive deeper engagement.
