How to use it#
URL mode#
- Open tubewizz.com/youtube-engagement-rate-calculator.
- Paste a YouTube video URL.
- Stats are pulled from YouTube's public API. The rate calculates instantly.
Manual mode#
- Toggle Manual mode.
- Enter views, likes, and comments yourself.
- The calculator updates as you type. Use this when likes are hidden or the video is private.
Tips#
- Comparing your average engagement rate over your last 10 videos gives a more reliable signal than any single video.
- A high rate on a small-view video isn't unusual — the rate-vs-views curve flattens above 10k views.
- Below 1% on a video with strong views often means the title and thumbnail are pulling in audiences who don't actually want the content.
