A general note is that engagement rate calculations can vary in general, e.g. some people factor in “saves” while others don’t. On our Analyze feature, we use reach to calculate ER% because it factors in the total number of people your post reached, which is more precise.
By using reach, our engagement rate % is based on the total number of people who saw your post on their feed, explored the page, or found your content through hashtags. However, factoring in reach for every single post can be overly manual to calculate without an automated feature like our Analyze dashboard so the best practice for quick calculations is to use followers to calculate the engagement rate on Instagram

Meta has recently changed the structure of the data they send to us. Now they send gender and age range separately in a way that doesn’t allow us to generate the same type of insights. We’re looking into potentially updating these insights in the future; however, this is not on our current roadmap.
