How to calculate Growth Rate on YouTube
Growth Rate is a simple calculation in the increase (or decrease) between two numbers. In this instance, the number of Subscribers of a YouTube Channel.
Since this is a monthly benchmark (and that most marketers benchmark monthly), the Monthly Growth Rate calculation is the difference between the Channel Subscribers on the first day of the month compared to the last day of the month:
Monthly Growth Rate = (Subscribers on last day of month – Subscribers on first day of month) divided by Subscribers on first day of month.
As an example, let’s say your YouTube Channel had 5,293 Subscribers on March 1 and 5,428 Subscribers on March 31. The Growth Rate for the month of March would be calculated as:
5,428 minus 5,293 = 135
135 divided by 5,293 = 0.02550
0.02550 multiplied by 100 = 2.55%
We multiply by 100 in order to get to a percentage. Growth Rate is usually expressed with 2 decimal places.
