Understanding and Calculating Your Net Promoter Score (NPS)
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a widely used management tool that can be used to gauge the loyalty of a company's customer relationships. It serves as a strong indicator of customer satisfaction and potential for growth, as loyal customers are more likely to make repeat purchases and refer new customers.
What is NPS?
NPS is based on a single question: "How likely are you to recommend [Company/Product/Service] to a friend or colleague?" Customers respond on a 0-10 scale, where 0 is 'not at all likely' and 10 is 'extremely likely'. Based on their response, customers are categorized into three groups:
- Promoters (Score 9-10): These are loyal enthusiasts who will keep buying and refer others, fueling growth.
- Passives (Score 7-8): These are satisfied but unenthusiastic customers who are vulnerable to competitive offerings.
- Detractors (Score 0-6): These are unhappy customers who can damage your brand and impede growth through negative word-of-mouth.
How is NPS Calculated?
The NPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters. Passives are included in the total number of respondents but do not directly factor into the score itself. The score can range from -100 (if every customer is a Detractor) to +100 (if every customer is a Promoter).
The formula is:
NPS = (% Promoters) - (% Detractors)

Interpreting Your NPS Score
A "good" NPS score can vary by industry, but generally:
- Above 0: Generally considered "good."
- Above 20: Considered "favorable."
- Above 50: Considered "excellent."
- Above 70: Considered "world-class."
Remember, NPS is not just a number; it's a system for managing and improving customer loyalty. Regularly tracking your NPS and understanding the reasons behind your scores can help you identify areas for improvement and drive customer-centric growth.
Example Calculation:
Let's say you surveyed 100 customers and received the following responses:
- 60 Promoters (scores 9-10)
- 20 Passives (scores 7-8)
- 20 Detractors (scores 0-6)
Using the calculator:
- Total Respondents = 60 + 20 + 20 = 100
- Percentage of Promoters = (60 / 100) * 100 = 60%
- Percentage of Detractors = (20 / 100) * 100 = 20%
- NPS Score = 60% – 20% = 40
An NPS of 40 indicates a strong customer base with more loyal customers than detractors, suggesting good potential for growth and positive word-of-mouth.
