How to Calculate NPS

NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of ‘Detractors’ from the percentage of ‘Promoters’.

Calculating NPS Score is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Here’s an example: Say you’ve sent out your net promoter survey using our tool to 500 users and have received 250 responses in return.

  • 60 respondents shared detractor score (0 – 6)
  • 90 respondents gave passive score (7 – 8)
  • 100 respondents gave promoter score (9 – 10)

After you have tallied up the number of scores for every range, it’s time to find out the overall percentage of both promoters and detractors.

For the promoters, you’ll want to divide promoters by the total number of responses received (i.e. 250) and multiply by 100.

You’ll arrive at 0.4 or 40% when converted into a percentage. Similarly, for your detractors, you’ll arrive at 24%.Next, you will subtract your percent of detractors (24%) by your percentage of promoters (40%) to get your total Net Promoter Score of 16.
