Formula for Follower Growth Rate

Usage Examples

Example 1

Situation: You had 1,000 followers at the start of the period and 1,500 followers at the end of a 30-day period.

Initial Followers: 1,000
Final Followers: 1,500
Time Period: 30 days

Calculation:

\[ \text{Follower Growth Rate} = \left(\frac{1500 – 1000}{1000}\right) \times 100 = 50 \% \]

\[ \text{Daily Growth Rate} = \frac{50}{30} = 1.67 \% \text{ per day} \]

Explanation: In this example, the follower growth rate is 50%, with an average daily growth rate of 1.67%.

Example 2

Situation: You had 5,000 followers at the start of the period and 6,200 followers at the end of a 60-day period.

Initial Followers: 5,000
Final Followers: 6,200
Time Period: 60 days

Calculation:

\[ \text{Follower Growth Rate} = \left(\frac{6200 – 5000}{5000}\right) \times 100 = 24 \% \]

\[ \text{Daily Growth Rate} = \frac{24}{60} = 0.40 \% \text{ per day} \]

Explanation: In this example, the follower growth rate is 24%, with an average daily growth rate of 0.40%.
