What is a Good Engagement Rate on TikTok for 2025?

Summary

The guide explains how to assess TikTok engagement rate, noting that follower count, industry, content type, and audience demographics all affect the benchmark. It reports an average platform-wide rate of 4.07%, while citing 6–10% as a typical good range and higher figures for smaller accounts, including about 10%+ for micro-influencers and 4–6% for mega-influencers. It defines engagement through likes, comments, shares, views, and saves, then gives formulas based on total engagements, followers, and number of posts, including worked examples producing 6.66% and 5.5%. Industry figures range from 9.5% for schools and sports teams to 2.51% for fashion, with niche-specific targets recommended. TikTok Analytics and third-party tools such as Brandwatch are presented as ways to track trends, compare benchmarks, and refine strategy; the guidance comes from external research rather than original platform research.
