What is a good Instagram engagement rate in India?

Instagram engagement rate is your average likes plus comments per post, divided by your followers, times 100. A creator with 5,000 followers who averages 140 likes and 10 comments has an engagement rate of 3%.

A good rate depends on your size. On Hypee, the median for Indian creators is 8.3% for under 1K followers, 3.2% for 1K–10K followers, 3.1% for 10K–50K followers, measured on accounts connected to Instagram. Being in the top quarter for your size is good; brands care about it because it shows real people watch you.

Engagement rate FAQ

What creators and brands ask about engagement.

How do I calculate my Instagram engagement rate?

Add the likes and comments on your last 10 posts, divide by 10, divide by your followers, and multiply by 100. Or type the numbers into the calculator above.

What is a good engagement rate on Instagram in India?

It depends on followers. Median rates on Hypee are 8.3% for under 1K followers, 3.2% for 1K–10K followers, 3.1% for 10K–50K followers. Anything in the top quarter for your size is good.

Why is my engagement rate going down as I grow?

That is normal. Bigger accounts reach more casual followers, so the share who like or comment drops. Compare yourself with creators your size, not with everyone.

Do brands look at engagement rate?

Yes. Along with Reel views, it is the quickest check that an audience is real. Hypee shows your engagement rate in your media kit when you connect Instagram.

Is my data saved?

No. The calculator runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent to Hypee.
