Instagram Growth Tracker Description
Understanding Instagram Growth Metrics
Tracking your Instagram growth is essential for influencers, marketers, and brands. This calculator helps you analyze:
- Growth rate (percentage change in followers)
- Engagement rate (interaction vs. follower base)
- Follower velocity (growth over time)
Key Formulas
Growth Rate:
Growth Rate (%) = [(Current Followers - Previous Followers) / Previous Followers] * 100
Engagement Rate:
Engagement Rate (%) = [(Avg Likes + Avg Comments) / Current Followers] * 100
Follower Velocity:
Follower Velocity = (Current Followers - Previous Followers) / Days Between
Pro Tip: Track both engagement and growth for a holistic view. High follower count without interaction means low value to brands and algorithms.

- Small accounts: Metrics may spike easily; fluctuations can be misleading.
- Fake followers: High follower count but low engagement often signals bots or purchased followers.
