Calculation by Formula: Step by Step
Use these simple formulas to understand how the TikTok Engagement Rate Calculator
works
for your account or based on video views.
01 Account Level Formula
An account-based formula measures the followers’ engagement with your content.
Engagement Rate=Total likes + comments + shares + savesTotal Followers× 100
Example:
If you have 10k followers and average 500 interactions per
post, your engagement rate will be 5%.
02 View-Based Formula
A view-based formula helps you calculate engagement for non-followers, as the TikTok algorithm also shows your content to new viewers. It measures how many people who watched your videos actually interact with it (likes, shares, comments, etc.).
Engagement Rate=Total likes + comments + shares + savesTotal Views× 100
Tip:
Both formulas give useful insights. Use the account level formula to understand your audience’s overall engagement, and the view-based formula to see how well your content performs with a wider audience.

04How to track TikTok engagement rate?
Method #1: Use a Calculator or Formula
You can use our free TikTok engagement rate calculator tool for the best stats on a public profile. It will give you a complete analytics profile and individual video or post stats. Alternatively, you can use the following formula.
Engagement Rate=Likes + Comments + Shares + SavesTotal Views× 100
Method #2: Use TikTok Analytics
If the analytics option is available on TikTok, follow these steps to view the stats:
- Go to the TikTok profile.
- Now, click on the Creator tools.
- Now, open the analytics to see all the engagement stats, etc.
05Engagement by followers and engagement by views: what is the difference?
In engagement by followers, interaction counts against the people who follow you. Engagement by views counts interactions against everyone who watched the video (follower or not). This approach is much more accurate for TikTok.
Followers by engagement (Best case)
Best use for long-form content like YouTube videos, Instagram and Facebook feed, etc. In this type, your existing audience usually views your content.
Followers by views (Best case)
Platforms that recommend the videos to the viewers (not always followers or subscribers). e.g., TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels.
Note:
When you are looking at the analytics results on our tool, look at Engagement by views to estimate the individual performance and engagement by followers to estimate the overall loyalty of the followers.
06How can I apply the data to my influencer marketing?
When you’re planning campaigns, do not follow micro-influencers with millions of followers. Sometimes, a small influencer with 10k or fewer followers usually has a high click-through rate and conversion. This is because the audience is closer to them and follows their recommendations. Another way to check whether the audience is loyal to the content creator or not is to check the number of shares on the most recent videos.
07Do fake followers affect the TikTok engagement rate?
Fake followers do little to no engagement on TikTok, as they’re created using fake profiles with no activity. TikTok is very strict in terms of calculating the engagement of the profile. Hence, next time, if you see a profile with millions of followers, use the TikTok engagement rate calculator to analyze whether the profile has real audience engagement or not.
