Completion Rate

The share of people who start a flow and finish it.

Completion rate = completed ÷ started × 100

Why it matters

It shows directly how much friction a flow has.

How to use it

  • Measure it for each step of the flow.
  • Look for the largest drop.
  • Compare by device and user type.

Example

If 450 of 1,000 people finish sign-up, completion is 45%.
