  • Enter the campaign or channel metrics requested in the calculator.

What the result means

Open rate measures the share of delivered emails that were opened. It reflects subject line appeal, sender trust, timing, and deliverability.

Open Rate = Emails Opened ÷ Delivered Emails × 100; Delivered = Sent × (1 − Bounce Rate)

Apple Mail Privacy Protection and tracking limits can affect open rate accuracy, so combine this with click metrics.

Example calculation

If 10,000 emails are sent, 2% bounce, and 3,000 opens, delivered emails are 9,800 and open rate is 30.61%.

Tips for better results

  • Test subject lines and preview text.
  • Segment inactive subscribers.
  • Improve sender reputation and list hygiene.
