| Micro (10K–100K) | 0.5–1.5% |

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 X (Twitter) benchmark for the account’s follower tier below.
Numbers only mean something if the audience is real
X (Twitter) has no public data API, so the free authenticity check can't score it yet — it currently covers YouTube and Twitch. Why →

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 X (Twitter) 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.
