How it is calculated
Engagement rate = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ followers × 100%. This is the most common definition — engagement relative to the whole follower base, not just the people who actually saw the post.
Some platforms and analytics tools instead calculate engagement relative to a post's reach or impressions rather than total followers — both are legitimate, but they produce different numbers, and engagement rates calculated the two different ways can't be compared directly.
A falling engagement rate as follower count grows is normal, not necessarily a sign content got worse: the bigger the audience, the higher the share of casual, less-invested followers within it. The metric works best for comparing similarly sized accounts or tracking one account's own trend over time.
