How is Instagram engagement rate calculated?

For Reels, the practical formula is (likes + comments) ÷ plays per post. We compute it across the account's recent Reels and take the median, plus the classic (likes + comments) ÷ followers rate that most influencer benchmarks quote.

  1. Enter a handle

    Any public Instagram account with Reels works — creators you're vetting, competitors, or your own brand.

  2. We read the recent Reels

    The calculator pulls recent Reels and computes per-post engagement from real play, like, and comment counts.

  3. Read the benchmark

    Rates are graded against typical Instagram performance: about 2-4% per play is average, 4-7% is strong, above 7% is excellent.

One rate won't tell you who's worth booking. Octohog finds the UGC creators already performing in your niche — ranked by evidence from their actual videos. See Creator Match
