Overview

Use this LinkedIn Engagement Rate Calculator to estimate how well a post is performing based on reactions, comments, shares, clicks, and either impressions or follower count. It is useful for reviewing individual posts, benchmarking campaigns, and comparing content formats over time.

How it works

The calculator first adds together your interactions to get total engagements. It then divides that total by either impressions or followers and multiplies the result by 100 to show a percentage.
