Hashtag Reach Estimator
Estimate the additional reach potential from your hashtag strategy and optimize hashtag usage.
📐 How It Works
Formula
Estimated Reach = Average Views × 0.03 × Hashtag Count (capped at 30% of avg views)This formula estimates the additional reach you might gain from hashtag usage. Each hashtag can potentially add about 3% to your reach through hashtag search and browse features. However, there are diminishing returns—the formula caps additional reach at 30% of your average views to reflect realistic hashtag impact. Actual results depend on hashtag relevance, competition, and timing.
💡 Example Calculation
If your posts average 10,000 views and you use 15 hashtags: Additional Reach = 10,000 × 0.03 × 15 = 4,500 potential additional views. However, this is capped at 30% of average (3,000), so estimated additional reach is 3,000 views.
