2026 benchmarks for Instagram

On Instagram, engagement rate is calculated against followers. Values above 3% put you in the top tier of creators on this platform. The median for active creators hovers around 1.5%; below 0.7% usually signals either audience drift or a content-mix issue.

These benchmarks vary by niche — B2B LinkedIn content tends higher, consumer meme pages trend lower. Use this as a directional read, not a rigid grade.
