YouTube Engagement Calculator
Calculate YouTube engagement by Subscribers (ERF), Reach (ERR), and Views (ERV). Paste recent videos to get an average ERV for quick benchmarking.
- ERV (by Views) — best for video-to-video comparisons on YouTube.
- ERF (by Subscribers) — useful for channel benchmarking over time.
- ERR (by Reach) — prefer when actual reach is available.
Per‑item table (optional)
| Title | Views | Likes | Comments | Shares | Saves | Engagements | ERV % | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0.00% |
How this calculator works
This tool calculates three engagement metrics: ERF (by Subscribers), ERR (by Reach), and ERV (by Views). Enter your engagement data to compute any of these metrics, or paste multiple videos to get an average ERV.
- Engagements = Likes + Comments + Shares + Saves
- ERF (by Subscribers) = Engagements ÷ Subscribers × 100
- ERR (by Reach) = Engagements ÷ Reach × 100
- ERV (by Views) = Engagements ÷ Views × 100
- When the denominator is 0 or empty, results show 0.00% and the formula hint displays an em dash.
When to use which metric
- ERV — recommended for YouTube video‑to‑video comparisons.
- ERF — benchmarking channel health over time.
- ERR — when unique reach is available for the content.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about YouTube engagement metrics
ERV measures engagement relative to views: Engagements ÷ Views × 100. It's the best YouTube‑native metric for comparing video‑to‑video performance on the same channel or across channels.
Use Engagements ÷ Views × 100 for ERV. If you only have subscribers or reach, use those denominators instead: ERF = Engagements ÷ Subscribers × 100; ERR = Engagements ÷ Reach × 100.
Engagements include Likes, Comments, Shares, and Saves. This calculator sums them as: Engagements = Likes + Comments + Shares + Saves.
Use ERF (by Subscribers) for channel‑level benchmarking over time, ERR (by Reach) when actual reach is available, and ERV (by Views) for video‑to‑video comparisons. ERV is our recommended default for YouTube videos.
