Net Promoter Score

+36

from 220 answers

Promoters, 9-10
54.5%
Passives, 7-8
27.3%
Detractors, 0-6
18.2%

At 95% confidence the score sits somewhere between 26 and 47, a span of 20 points.

This interval is wide. Treat changes between periods cautiously and report the promoter, passive, and detractor shares alongside the score.

Passives contribute to the response total but not to the promoter-minus-detractor numerator. Report all three shares and describe who answered, especially if the survey only reached current users.

How this tool works

Net Promoter Score is the share of promoters (scoring 9 or 10) minus the share of detractors (scoring 0 to 6), in percentage points, with passives (7 and 8) counted in the denominator but nowhere else. The range runs from −100 to +100 and the result is conventionally reported as a whole number without a percent sign.

The interval uses the standard error √((p + d − (p − d)²) ÷ n), where p and d are the promoter and detractor proportions. With 120 promoters, 60 passives, and 40 detractors, n = 220 and the rounded score is +36. The approximate 95% confidence interval runs from 26 to 47.

Small samples can produce large score changes when a few respondents move between categories. Report the promoter, passive, and detractor shares with the score and its uncertainty. When comparing periods, account for uncertainty in both samples.

Describe who was invited and who answered. A survey limited to current users or recent support contacts may not represent all customers. Keep wording, scale, recruitment, and timing consistent when tracking NPS. Interpret benchmarks in the context of the product and audience.
