What is CSAT and How Is It Calculated

The Customer Satisfaction Score is a metric used to track customer satisfaction with a product, service, or interaction. Unlike loyalty metrics, CSAT focuses on immediate satisfaction at particular touchpoints.

The standard CSAT question asks:

How satisfied were you with [your experience/product/service]?

Customers respond using a 5-point scale, from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). The responses classify customers into three groups:

Unsatisfied

are unhappy customers.

1
2
3
4
5

Neutral

are satisfied but unenthusiastic.

Satisfied

Customer Satisfaction Score formula:

CSAT is expressed as a percentage from 0 to 100.

CSAT = (Number of Satisfied Customers / Total Number of Responses) × 100

How Often Should You Measure CSAT

CSAT is best used frequently and contextually. Because it's tied to specific interactions, it should be triggered immediately after customer touchpoints.

After key transactions

Purchases, renewals, feature use, or onboarding milestones.

After support interactions

Ticket resolution or chat closure.

After service experiences

Deliveries, appointments, or check-ins.

Continuously for digital products

In-app or via email.

Avoid Survey Fatigue

Do not survey the same customer for multiple interactions within a short timeframe.

Follow up with dissatisfied customers
