Häufig gestellte Fragen
Followers or reach?
This calculator uses follower-based ER. Reach-based ER divides by post reach instead — useful when algorithmic distribution is uneven.
What counts as viral?
Anything consistently above 6% is exceptional on Instagram or TikTok; on Facebook even 3% is strong.
Why are the tiers so strict?
Industry benchmarks (Hootsuite, Rival IQ) show median Instagram ER under 1%, so anything above 3% is already outperforming most accounts.
