Your email open rate is the percentage of recipients who opened your email. It is the first indicator of whether your subject line, sender name, and send timing are working. The formula is simple: (emails opened / emails delivered) x 100.

But knowing your number is only half the battle. The Email Open Rate Calculator compares your rate against industry averages, identifies potential issues, and suggests specific improvements based on your metrics.

Enter your sent count, delivered count, and opens to get your open rate along with benchmarks for your industry (e-commerce, SaaS, media, non-profit, etc.) and personalized recommendations to boost engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good email open rate?

The average across all industries is around 20-25%. Above 30% is excellent. Below 15% suggests issues with subject lines, sender reputation, or list quality.

Are open rates still reliable after Apple MPP?

Apple Mail Privacy Protection (MPP) pre-loads tracking pixels, inflating open rates for Apple Mail users. Focus on click rate as a more reliable engagement metric alongside opens.

How can I improve my open rate?

Test subject lines (keep under 50 characters), personalize the sender name, segment your list, clean out inactive subscribers, and test different send days and times.

What is a good bounce rate?

Keep hard bounces below 2%. Soft bounces under 5% are normal. Higher rates damage your sender reputation and hurt future deliverability.
