TikTok Engagement
Rate Calculator

How it works

The calculator uses the standard TikTok engagement rate formula:

Comments and shares are optional — including them gives you a more complete picture, but likes alone is a valid starting point.

To get the most accurate result, average across your last 10–20 videos rather than using a single outlier post.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good TikTok engagement rate?

A rate above 3.5% is considered strong on TikTok. The platform average sits around 2.5–3%. If you're above 6%, you're in the top tier — your content is generating significant organic reach signals.

How is engagement rate calculated?

Engagement rate = (avg likes + comments + shares per video) ÷ followers × 100. Our calculator uses this formula. Comments and shares are optional inputs — if you only track likes, include those at minimum.

Is this calculator free? Do I need to sign up?

Completely free, no account needed. Enter your numbers, hit Calculate — that's it. Your data stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.

Where do I find my average likes and comments?

Check TikTok Analytics (available on Creator accounts) under Content → pick your last 10–20 posts and average the engagement numbers. You can also use the TikTok Data Pro API to pull this data programmatically for any public account.

Can I get this data automatically via API?
