YouTube Views Ratio Calculator

About This Tool

Look, I get it—YouTube’s algorithm is a black box. You post a video, it gets views, maybe some likes, maybe not. But what does that actually mean? Is 10K views with 200 likes good? Or bad? That’s where this YouTube Views Ratio Calculator comes in. It’s not magic. It’s just math. Simple, honest math.

I built this because I was tired of guessing. I’d spend hours editing a video, upload it, and then stare at the stats like they were written in ancient hieroglyphics. Was my engagement decent? Was I losing viewers halfway through? This tool helps you cut through the noise and see what’s really going on.

You plug in your views, likes, comments, and maybe even watch time if you want to go deeper. It spits out ratios—like likes per 1,000 views or comment rate. Nothing fancy. Just clear numbers so you can compare videos, track progress, or figure out what’s working (and what’s not).

Key Features

• Calculates likes-to-views ratio—because raw likes don’t mean much without context.
• Shows comment rate per 1,000 views—helps you see if people are actually engaging.
• Optional watch time input—lets you estimate average view duration impact.
• Compares your video to rough industry averages—no, you don’t need 10% like rate to be successful.
• No sign-up, no tracking, no nonsense. Just paste your numbers and go.
• Works on mobile—because let’s be real, you’re probably checking this on your phone at 2 a.m.

FAQ

Q: Is a 5% like-to-view ratio good?
A: Honestly? It depends. For some niches, 5% is solid. For others, it’s low. Gaming videos often have lower ratios because of high view volume. Tutorials or personal vlogs might see higher engagement. Use the tool to compare your own videos first—then look at broader trends.

Q: Why doesn’t it pull data directly from YouTube?
A: I thought about it. But YouTube’s API is a pain—rate limits, permissions, all that jazz. Plus, not everyone wants to log in. This way, you stay in control. Just copy your numbers from YouTube Studio and paste them here. Quick, private, and no middleman.
