How CSAT is Calculated

CSAT = (Satisfied Responses / Total Responses) x 100

Count responses rated 4 or 5 on a 1-5 scale as "satisfied." A score above 75% is generally considered good, and above 85% is excellent.

What is CSAT?

Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT) measures how satisfied customers are with a specific interaction, product, or service. It's typically measured by asking customers to rate their experience on a 1-5 scale.

Only responses of 4 (satisfied) and 5 (very satisfied) are counted as positive. The percentage of positive responses out of total responses gives you your CSAT score.

When to use CSAT

  • After a support ticket is resolved
  • Post-purchase feedback
  • After onboarding or feature adoption
  • Following a live chat conversation

What is NPS?

Net Promoter Score (NPS) measures customer loyalty by asking one simple question: "How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?" on a 0-10 scale.

Respondents are grouped into Promoters (9-10), Passives (7-8), and Detractors (0-6). Your NPS is the percentage of Promoters minus the percentage of Detractors.

When to use NPS

  • Quarterly or annual relationship surveys
  • Measuring overall brand loyalty
  • Benchmarking against competitors
  • Tracking loyalty trends over time

CSAT vs NPS: Which Should You Use?

CSAT NPS
Measures Satisfaction with a specific interaction Overall loyalty and likelihood to recommend
Scale 1-5 (or 1-7) 0-10
Best for Transactional feedback Relationship-level feedback
Timeframe Immediate, post-interaction Periodic (quarterly, annually)
Score range 0% - 100% -100 to +100

Most support teams use both — CSAT for immediate feedback on individual interactions, and NPS for tracking long-term customer loyalty. Together, they give you the full picture.

How to Improve Your Scores

1

Reduce First Response Time

Customers value speed. Aim for under 1 hour on email and under 1 minute on live chat. Automated routing and AI-suggested replies can help your team respond faster.

2

Personalize Every Interaction

Use customer context — purchase history, previous conversations, account details — to make every response feel tailored, not generic.

3

Close the Loop on Feedback

Follow up with detractors and unhappy customers. A simple 'we heard you and here's what we did' email can turn critics into promoters.

4

Empower Your Agents

Give your support team the authority and tools to resolve issues without escalation. Fewer handoffs means higher satisfaction.

5

Build a Self-Service Knowledge Base

Let customers find answers on their own. A well-maintained knowledge base deflects simple tickets so agents can focus on complex issues.

6

Track and Iterate

Measure CSAT and NPS consistently. Look for trends by channel, agent, and issue type. Use the data to prioritize improvements that matter most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good CSAT score?
A CSAT score above 75% is generally considered good. Scores above 85% are excellent. However, benchmarks vary by industry — SaaS companies typically aim for 78%+, while e-commerce targets 80%+.
What is a good NPS score?
Any NPS above 0 is positive (you have more promoters than detractors). Above 30 is great, above 50 is excellent, and above 70 is world-class. The average NPS across industries is around 32.
How often should I measure CSAT and NPS?
CSAT should be measured after every meaningful customer interaction (support ticket, purchase, onboarding). NPS is best measured quarterly or bi-annually to track loyalty trends over time.
Can I use both CSAT and NPS together?
Yes, and most successful support teams do. CSAT gives you granular, interaction-level feedback, while NPS captures overall customer loyalty. Together, they help you spot both immediate issues and long-term trends.
What is the difference between CSAT and CES?
CSAT measures satisfaction, while Customer Effort Score (CES) measures how easy it was for a customer to get their issue resolved. CES is particularly useful for support interactions — low effort correlates strongly with customer loyalty.
How do I increase my survey response rate?
Keep surveys short (1-2 questions), send them at the right time (immediately after resolution), use the customer's preferred channel, and tell them the survey will take less than 30 seconds.
