What is CES?
Customer Effort Score (CES) measures how much effort a customer has to exert to get an issue resolved, a request fulfilled, a product purchased/returned etc.
Formula:
(Easy Responses / Total Responses) × 100
Usually measured by asking: "To what extent do you agree: The company made it easy for me to handle my issue."

How to use CES Calculator - Customer Effort Score?
Count easy responses
Enter number of customers who found the interaction easy (typically ratings 1-2 on a 1-5 "effort" scale, where 1 = very easy).
Enter total responses
Input total survey responses. CES = (Easy Responses / Total) × 100. Result is a percentage.
Benchmark effort levels
CES >80% is excellent (low effort). <50% means high effort (problem area). High effort predicts churn. Track CES to improve customer journey friction.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CES?
CES (Customer Effort Score) measures how easy it was for customers to interact with you. Scale: 1 = Very Easy, 5 = Very Difficult. Reported as % who found it easy (1-2 ratings).
How is CES calculated?
CES = (Number of Easy Responses / Total Responses) × 100. Example: 70 customers found it easy out of 100 = 70% CES. Simple percentage of low-effort ratings.
Why is CES important?
Low effort (high CES) predicts loyalty and repeat business. High effort (low CES) predicts churn. CES often correlates better with retention than satisfaction (CSAT).
What is a good CES score?
CES >80%: excellent (customers find it easy). 60-80%: good. 40-60%: acceptable (improvement opportunities). <40%: poor (major friction identified).
What causes high effort scores?
Confusing processes, poor design, multiple steps, unclear instructions, lack of support, outdated systems, or unintuitive flows. Identify and fix the friction points.
What is the difference between CES and CSAT?
CSAT: satisfaction with outcome. CES: effort to achieve it. You can be satisfied (good result) but high effort (painful process). Both metrics are important.
How do I improve CES?
Follow-up with low-effort ratings to find pain points. Simplify processes, reduce steps, improve self-service, better documentation, and faster support. Test improvements with follow-up CES surveys.
When should I measure CES?
After customer interactions: support tickets, purchases, onboarding, account setup. Monthly or quarterly rollups. Survey immediately after interaction for best feedback.
