The Net Promoter Score is a powerful tool that measures customer loyalty and lifetime value. To obtain this score, respondents are asked to answer a question using a survey from 0 to 10. The response options are arranged horizontally. The scale is then divided into three sections.

The results provide a simplified, but highly effective, view of the brand popularity and how likely a supplier is to be recommended/shared among its consumers.

How is the NPS calculated?


The calculation is made from the answers to the following NPS question:

Net Promoter Score Question - Example

This is what each score received represents:


9-10: Those who rate you 9 and 10 will be your promoters, and will probably recommend your business.


7-8: You will receive this rating from users considered passive, who may be satisfied but not satisfied enough.


0-6: This rating will be given to you by your dissatisfied customers, you should consider them as your detractors, dissatisfied customers who are less likely to buy again and more likely to convince others not to buy your products or use your services.


Based on the results obtained, you can enter your numbers into the Net Promoter Score calculator. Add the number of promoters, number of passives and number of detractors.

In this NPS calculator you can also define the Net Promoter Score you want to achieve and it will automatically calculate the promoters you need to meet this goal:

The NPS is a percentage that is calculated from the scores given by customers. We share with you another option so that you can obtain your index through an Excel file. The steps to calculate the Net Promoter Score manually in Excel are as follows:

  • Capture all the data in an Excel sheet.
  • Based on the scores received, identify the promoters, i.e. find all the answers with the score of 9 or more and count them.
  • Do the same with the passives and detractors.
  • Divide the total number of promoters by the total number of responses.
  • Multiply the result by 100 to get the % of promoters.
  • Repeat the above steps to obtain the % of detractors.
  • Subtract the percentage of detractors from the total percentage of promoters to obtain the NPS of your company.
