Reading your CSAT score
CSAT distils customer satisfaction into one percentage — the share of customers who walked away happy. Here's how it's worked out, what a good score looks like, and how you compare to your industry.
How it's calculated
After an interaction you ask “How satisfied were you?” on a 1–5 scale. CSAT is the share who picked the top two ratings — 4 or 5. Most teams report this top-2-box method; the calculator can also take the average rating as a percentage of the maximum.
CSAT % = (satisfied (4–5) ÷ total) × 100
What a good score looks like
CSAT runs from 0 to 100%. Here's the whole range at a glance, and your live result lands on this same scale the moment you calculate.
Excellent — Top-tier. You're ahead of most companies in any industry.
Good — A healthy score most support teams aim for.
Fair — Acceptable, but there's clear room to improve.
Needs work — Below the typical range — worth digging into why.
How you compare by industry
CSAT clusters tighter than NPS — most fields sit in the mid-70s to low-80s, with telecom and travel running lower. Compare against your own field, and against your own past scores.
