Enter the number of respondents and the total number surveyed into the calculator to determine the survey response percentage.

Survey Percentage Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the survey response percentage.

P = (NR / TS) * 100

Variables:

  • P is the survey response percentage (%)
  • NR is the number of respondents
  • TS is the total number surveyed

To calculate the survey response percentage, divide the number of respondents by the total number surveyed and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

What is Survey Percentage?

Survey percentage is a measure of how many people responded to a survey out of the total number of people surveyed. It is an important metric in research and polling to understand the representativeness and reliability of survey results. A higher survey percentage typically indicates a more reliable and accurate representation of the target population.

How to Calculate Survey Percentage?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Survey Percentage.


  1. First, determine the number of respondents (NR).
  2. Next, determine the total number surveyed (TS).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = P = (NR / TS) * 100.
  4. Finally, calculate the Survey Percentage (P).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

number of respondents (NR) = 250

total number surveyed (TS) = 500
