Course Completion Rate Analyzer
Calculate completion rates, dropout rates, engagement scores, and estimated revenue impact for your courses.

Formulas Used
Completion Rate (%) = (Students Completed ÷ Total Enrolled) × 100
Dropout Rate (%) = ((Enrolled − Completed − Active) ÷ Enrolled) × 100
Active Rate (%) = (Active Students ÷ Enrolled) × 100
Engagement Score (%) = (Avg Lessons Completed ÷ Total Lessons) × 100
Certification Rate (%) = (Certificate Earners ÷ Completed) × 100
Effective Completion Rate (%) = (Certificate Earners ÷ Enrolled) × 100
Dropout Risk Score (0–100) = 0.5 × Dropout Rate + 0.3 × (100 − Engagement Score) + 0.2 × (100 − Completion Rate)
Revenue Lost to Dropouts ($) = Dropout Count × Course Price
Assumptions & References
- All enrolled students are assumed to have paid the full course price.
- A student is classified as a "dropout" if they are neither active nor completed.
- The Dropout Risk Score is a composite weighted index; weights (0.5, 0.3, 0.2) reflect the relative importance of dropout rate, engagement, and completion rate respectively.
- Industry benchmark: MOOC completion rates average 5–15% (Jordan, 2014; HarvardX/MITx studies); instructor-led online courses average 60–80%.
- Certification rate measures quality of completion — students who completed all requirements vs. those who merely finished content.
