Understanding your result
Compare email content response across similarly targeted campaigns. Check downstream actions instead of assuming a click is a purchase.
Common mistakes
- Repeated clicks by one recipient must not be counted as several recipients.
- Sent emails and successfully delivered emails are different denominators.
Check your calculation
- Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.
Choose a consistent measurement basis
Use the same email campaign and filter definition. Successfully delivered excludes bounces; each recipient belongs in the numerator at most once.
A second independently worked case
No clicking recipients among ten deliveries gives 0%. Inputs: Unique clicking recipients: 0 recipients; Successfully delivered emails: 10 emails. Results: Unique recipient click rate: 0 %.
Precision and output units
Displayed results: Unique recipient click rate in %, rounded to 2 decimal places. Display rounding does not establish the precision of the original measurements or estimates. A small positive rate can round to 0.00%; inspect the underlying counts before treating displayed zero as an absence of events.

How it works
Divide unique recipients who clicked at least once by successfully delivered emails and multiply by 100. This is not total link-click events divided by sends.
Worked example
120 unique clicking recipients ÷ 4,000 deliveries × 100 = 3%. Enter unique clicking recipients 120 recipients, successfully delivered emails 4000 emails. The independently worked result is unique recipient click rate 3 %. Compare this example with your reporting definitions before substituting your own figures.
FAQ
Should total clicks or unique clicking recipients be entered?
Enter unique recipients with at least one counted click. Five link clicks by one recipient contribute one recipient to this metric, not five.
Does the calculation remove bot activity?
No. It calculates the supplied counts. Apply the same platform filtering convention to the data first and record whether privacy features or automated activity can affect the report.
