| 10K to 100K subscribers | 4% to 7% | 4.76% |

These bands are rough industry ranges, not figures pulled from YouTube. Treat them as a sanity check on one video, not a fixed target.
This YouTube engagement rate calculator divides a video's likes plus comments by its views and shows the result as a percentage. Enter the three numbers, pick the channel's size, and the rate appears next to the typical range for that size.
Worked example: 2,200 likes and 180 comments on 50,000 views is 2,380 engagements, so 2,380 ÷ 50,000 × 100 = 4.76%. For a channel with 10K to 100K subscribers the typical range here is 4% to 7%, so that video sits inside it.
YouTube does not publish an engagement rate of its own. Its Analytics API lists likes, comments and shares as separate metrics, and its public video statistics cover views, likes and comments but not shares. So this uses the three numbers anyone can see. The ranges are rough bands set on this page, not figures from YouTube.
It is the share of views that turned into a like or a comment, shown as a percentage. YouTube has no official engagement rate, so each tool defines its own. This one counts likes plus comments against views.
Add likes and comments, divide by views, then multiply by 100. Likes divided by views alone is a like-to-view ratio. Some tools also add shares or divide by subscribers instead of views. This calculator divides by views, and it works the same for a Short.
It moves with channel size. The bands this calculator uses are 6% to 10% under 10K subscribers, 4% to 7% from 10K to 100K, 2% to 5% from 100K to 1M, and 1% to 3% above 1M. They are rough ranges, not YouTube figures, so compare a video with your own channel's other videos first.
