Read the Numbers
Analytics separates the whole-account overview from recent performance. Engagement and median views use the selected 30- or 100-post sample.
Choose the Range
Analytics starts with the latest 30 posts. Switch to the latest 100 for a larger sample; the posts load automatically.
How to Calculate TikTok Engagement Rate
Engagement adds up the likes, comments and shares on a set of posts. There are two common ways to turn that into a rate.
By views, you divide it by the views those posts got. By followers, you divide the average per post by the account's follower count.
Say five posts got 100,000 views and 8,500 likes, comments and shares between them. That's 8.5% by views.
If the account has 50,000 followers, the posts averaged 1,700 each, which is 3.4% by followers. The calculator works out both for you.
By Views or by Followers?
Engagement by views measures how people react to the videos they actually watched. Engagement by followers compares the same reactions with the size of the audience, and the two can differ a lot.
When videos reach far beyond the followers, the rate by followers runs high and can even pass 100%. When followers rarely react to the posts, it runs low.
Calculators don't agree on which one to use, so check which one a figure uses before you compare accounts. On a profile here, the rate next to the follower count is by views, and Account analytics has both.
Why We Show Median Views
One viral video can pull an account's average views far above what a typical post gets. The median is the middle value: half the posts got more views and half got fewer, so a single hit barely moves it.
That gives you a fairer picture of a typical post. The breakdown also shows average likes, comments and shares, how often the account posts, when it last posted, when it joined, and which of these posts got the most views.

How do you calculate engagement rate on TikTok?
Add up the likes, comments and shares on a set of posts. Divide that by their views for engagement by views, or divide the average per post by the follower count for engagement by followers. Enter a username above to get both.
How do I check the engagement rate of a TikTok account?
Enter its @username above. The profile opens on Analytics with both rates. Engagement and median views also appear next to the follower count.
What is a good engagement rate on TikTok?
There's no single answer. Published figures vary widely, partly because some divide by views and others by followers, and small accounts often score higher than big ones. Compare accounts of a similar size in the same niche, using the same formula.
How many posts does the calculator use?
It uses the latest 30 posts by default. You can switch to the latest 100 in Analytics, without loading pages manually. The sample size and dates are shown. If fewer public posts are available, it uses those.
Is this TikTok engagement calculator free?
Yes. It's free, there's no sign-up, and you don't need a TikTok account.
Can I check a private account?
No. A private account only shows its videos to people it has approved, so there's nothing here to calculate from.
