LinkedIn engagement rate is a crucial metric for understanding how well your content resonates with your audience on the platform. It measures the level of interaction your posts receive relative to the number of people who see them. A higher engagement rate indicates that your content is compelling, relevant, and sparking conversations or actions within your network.
There are a few common ways to calculate engagement rate on LinkedIn, depending on which interactions you want to prioritize. This calculator provides a comprehensive view by including likes, comments, shares, and clicks as forms of engagement.
How it's Calculated:
The formula used in this calculator is:
Engagement Rate = (Total Engagements / Post Impressions) * 100
Where:
Total Engagements: This is the sum of all meaningful interactions on your post. In this calculator, we sum up:
Post Impressions: This is the total number of times your post was displayed on LinkedIn users' feeds.
A higher engagement rate suggests your content is not only being seen but also actively interacted with, which can boost its visibility in LinkedIn's algorithm. Regularly tracking and analyzing your engagement rate can help you refine your content strategy to create more impactful posts.

var totalEngagements = likes + comments + shares + clicks;
var engagementRate = (totalEngagements / impressions) * 100;
resultDiv.innerHTML = "
Your LinkedIn Engagement Rate: " + engagementRate.toFixed(2) + "%
