## How to calculate engagement rates on YouTube

The most common method to calculate YouTube engagement is to divide total interactions by subscribers. That’s the traditional formula, and it can be useful as a quick, rough benchmark.

### Traditional formula
Engagement Rate = (Likes + Comments + Shares) ÷ Subscribers x 100

Engagement Rate = (Likes + Comments + Shares) ÷ Views x 100
