Calculator

How this logic works

Step 1

We compute your total rating score as current rating × review count.

Step 2

We solve for the smallest integer count of new 5-star reviews needed to reach your target.

Step 3

We also compute how many 1-star reviews can push you below a selected threshold.

FAQ

Is this exact or estimated?

Exact. This tool uses deterministic formulas with integer rounding for real-world review counts.

Why can rating growth slow at higher counts?

As review count grows, each new review has less relative impact, so more 5-star reviews are needed.
