Email click rate is unique clicks divided by delivered emails. Two hundred and forty-five clicks from 4,900 delivered is 5%. Unlike open rate, a click is a real action a person took, which is why it survived the privacy changes intact.

How to calculate email click rate

1 Enter delivered emails and unique clicks.
2 Read the click rate against delivered.
3 Compare click-to-open only within similar sends.
4 Watch unsubscribe rate as the counterweight to aggressive sending.

Unique clicks rather than total clicks is the convention worth keeping, because total clicks double-count one enthusiastic reader clicking three links. The other number to watch is the ratio between click rate and unsubscribe rate: a campaign that lifts clicks while also lifting unsubscribes is borrowing from the list rather than earning from it. Over enough sends that trade shows up as a shrinking audience and a rising cost per click.

Questions

Two to five per cent of delivered is typical for a broad newsletter; segmented and transactional mail runs much higher.
