How it works
- Engagement rate = (average likes + comments + shares) ÷ followers × 100.
- Average several recent posts, not your single best one — outliers skew the number.
- Compare the result to the LinkedIn benchmark for the account’s follower tier below.
- Measure a personal profile against a personal profile — company pages average roughly a third of the engagement, so mixing the two gives a misleading answer.
Numbers only mean something if the audience is real
LinkedIn has no free public API for looking up an arbitrary profile, so we cannot read a real LinkedIn account’s numbers — and we won’t publish an authenticity score we can’t source. LinkedIn is a calculator platform here, and will stay one until that changes. Why →

Frequently asked
What is a good LinkedIn engagement rate for my follower count?
It depends on size: smaller accounts engage harder. On LinkedIn, nano accounts often see the highest rates and mega accounts the lowest. Use the benchmark table on this page for the exact range by tier.
How do I calculate LinkedIn engagement rate?
Add up average likes, comments and shares on recent posts, divide by follower count, and multiply by 100. This calculator does it for you.
Why is my LinkedIn engagement rate low?
Common causes: a follower base that grew faster than your real audience, purchased followers, posting at bad times, or content that doesn’t prompt saves and shares. A rate far below benchmark can signal fake followers — run the free authenticity check.
