eNPS: Meaning and Purpose
Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) measures how likely employees are to recommend your company as a place to work. This calculator turns survey counts into a score.
Factors That Affect the Result
- Number of promoters
- Number of passives
- Number of detractors
- Survey response rate
- Follow-up open-ended feedback
How the eNPS Is Calculated
Employees answer 0 to 10 on whether they would recommend the company
Promoters score 9 or 10, Passives 7 or 8, Detractors 0 to 6
eNPS = % Promoters − % Detractors (range −100 to +100)
Worked example
Of 100 respondents, 50 are promoters, 30 passives and 20 detractors, so eNPS = 50% − 20% = +30.

Why It Matters
eNPS is a quick, repeatable pulse on engagement, and its trend over time matters more than a single number.
Compliance note: A small sample can swing the score sharply, so use it with qualitative feedback.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good eNPS?
Anything above zero means more promoters than detractors. Scores above 30 are generally strong, but compare against your own previous surveys.
How often should we run an eNPS survey?
Quarterly or half-yearly works for most teams, with a short follow-up on what to improve.
Do passives affect eNPS?
They are not counted in the score but they do reduce the percentage of promoters and detractors.
Is eNPS enough to measure engagement?
It is a single question, so pair it with comments and other measures such as attrition and absenteeism.
Is this enps calculator free to use?
Yes. It is free, needs no signup, and your inputs stay in your browser.
