Pinterest engagement rate calculator
Enter a Pin’s impressions, saves and clicks to see how often people who saw it actually engaged.
Calculated in your browser — nothing you enter is sent or stored.
How it’s calculated
Engagement rate = (saves + Pin clicks + outbound clicks + reactions) ÷ impressions × 100.
Pinterest analytics reports engagements — saves, clicks and reactions — against impressions, and this calculator follows the same idea. Outbound clicks are shown separately in the breakdown, because for most businesses they’re the engagement that actually brings visitors.
Engagement on a search engine
People use Pinterest to plan: recipes, outfits, rooms, trips. That makes saves and outbound clicks the numbers that matter. A Pin with a modest engagement rate but a high share of outbound clicks may be doing more for a business than one with lots of saves and no visits.
Pins last
Unlike a feed post, a Pin can keep getting impressions for months. Measure over a fixed period — the last 30 days in Pinterest analytics — so older and newer Pins compare fairly.
Finding the numbers
With a free business account, Pinterest analytics shows impressions, saves, Pin clicks and outbound clicks for each Pin and for your whole account. Enter per-Pin figures to compare designs, or account totals for an overall rate.
Tips to improve your numbers
- Use vertical images (Pinterest recommends a 2:3 ratio) with text that says what the Pin is.
- Write titles and descriptions with the words people search for.
- Make fresh Pins for proven ideas — a new design for a winning topic often performs again.
- Pin seasonal content weeks ahead; people plan early on Pinterest.
