Net Promoter Score is the single most widely used metric for measuring customer loyalty. Developed by Fred Reichheld at Bain & Company in 2003, it has since been adopted by two-thirds of the Fortune 1000.

The concept is simple: ask your customers one question — "How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?" — on a 0-to-10 scale. Based on their response, they fall into three categories:

  • Promoters (9-10): Loyal enthusiasts who keep buying and refer others
  • Passives (7-8): Satisfied but unenthusiastic customers vulnerable to competitors
  • Detractors (0-6): Unhappy customers who can damage your brand through negative word-of-mouth

According to Bain & Company research, companies with the highest NPS in their industry grow at more than twice the rate of competitors. A 12-point increase in NPS leads to a doubling of a company's growth rate on average.

Industry benchmarks vary significantly. SaaS companies average an NPS of 41, while internet services average 32. Airlines average 35, healthcare averages 38, and e-commerce averages 45. Knowing where you stand relative to your industry is more useful than comparing to an absolute number.

For customer support teams, NPS is directly tied to the quality of service interactions. Research from Zendesk shows that customers who rate support interactions as "good" are 4x more likely to become Promoters than those who rate interactions as "bad." While NPS measures loyalty, pairing it with a CSAT score gives you both the strategic and tactical view of customer sentiment.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Collect responses: After running your NPS survey, count how many respondents gave each score range.
  2. Enter your numbers: Input the count of Promoters (9-10 ratings), Passives (7-8), and Detractors (0-6) into the fields above.
  3. Read your score: Your NPS appears instantly, along with the percentage breakdown and a benchmark rating.
  4. Compare to benchmarks: Use the benchmark indicator to see how your score compares to industry standards.

You can also use this calculator to model scenarios. Try adjusting the numbers to see how converting a few Detractors to Passives — or Passives to Promoters — would change your overall score.

Pro Tips

  • Follow up fast: Contact Detractors within 24 hours. Companies that close the feedback loop see NPS improvements of 10-15 points within a quarter.
  • Segment your data: Calculate NPS by customer segment, product line, or support channel. Aggregated NPS hides important patterns.
  • Track trends, not snapshots: A single NPS measurement is less useful than the trend over time. Aim for quarterly measurements at minimum.
  • Ask the follow-up question: Always include an open-ended "Why did you give this score?" question. The qualitative data is often more actionable than the number itself.
  • Don't game the metric: Avoid surveying only happy customers or asking for high scores. This produces false data that hides real problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Net Promoter Score (NPS)?
NPS is a customer loyalty metric ranging from -100 to +100. It measures how likely your customers are to recommend your product or service to others. Customers rate you 0-10, then are grouped as Promoters (9-10), Passives (7-8), or Detractors (0-6). NPS = % Promoters minus % Detractors.
What is a good NPS score?
Any positive NPS (above 0) means you have more promoters than detractors. Scores above 30 are considered great, above 50 is excellent, and above 70 is world-class. The average NPS across industries is around 32, but benchmarks vary significantly by sector.
How do you calculate NPS?
NPS = (Number of Promoters / Total Responses × 100) minus (Number of Detractors / Total Responses × 100). Promoters score 9-10, Passives score 7-8, and Detractors score 0-6. Passives are not included in the calculation but affect the total.
How often should you measure NPS?
Most companies measure NPS quarterly for strategic insights and after key touchpoints (onboarding, support interactions, purchases) for tactical feedback. Transactional NPS surveys sent right after interactions typically get higher response rates than periodic relationship surveys.
What is the difference between NPS and CSAT?
NPS measures overall customer loyalty and likelihood to recommend, while CSAT measures satisfaction with a specific interaction or experience. NPS is a strategic, long-term metric. CSAT is a tactical, immediate metric. Most support teams track both.
How can you improve your NPS score?
Focus on turning Detractors into Passives first—follow up within 24 hours of negative feedback. Then work on moving Passives to Promoters by exceeding expectations. Common improvements include faster response times, proactive support, and closing the feedback loop by telling customers what you changed based on their input.
