Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate TikTok engagement rate?

Divide total engagements (likes + comments + shares) by your follower count, then multiply by 100. For example: 5,000 engagements ÷ 50,000 followers × 100 = 10% engagement rate.

What is a good TikTok engagement rate?

It depends on your size. Nano creators (1K-10K followers) typically see 8-12%. Micro (10K-50K) averages 5-9%. Mid-tier (50K-500K) is 3-6%. Anything above your tier's average is considered good.

Why is TikTok engagement higher than Instagram?

TikTok's For You Page algorithm shows content to non-followers based on interest, driving higher engagement. Instagram primarily shows content to existing followers, limiting organic reach.

Should I use engagement by followers or views?

Engagement by followers is the industry standard for brand deals. Engagement by views shows how compelling your content is. Both are useful — brands look at follower-based rates, while you should optimize for view-based rates.

How can I improve my TikTok engagement rate?

Post 2-3 times daily, hook viewers in the first second, reply to comments, post when your audience is active, use trending sounds, and create shareable content. Track performance hourly to identify what works best.
