Complaint Rate Target Calculator

Complaint thresholds are absolute, not relative to history. This tool gives you the per-send and per-month complaint allowance.

Max complaints before tripping threshold
MBPThresholdMax complaints/month
Gmail0.3%150
Microsoft (Outlook, Hotmail, Live)0.1%50
Yahoo / AOL0.2%100
Apple iCloud0.2%100

Microsoft's 0.1% is the strictest. Plan to stay under that across all MBPs.

What it does

Given your send volume, returns the max complaint count before tripping Gmail (0.3%), Microsoft (0.1%), and Yahoo (variable but ~0.2%) thresholds.

When to use

Before scaling a campaign. After receiving a complaint-rate warning from any MBP.

Nate SummersCo-Founder, Outsolvi

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi runs Tier 1 to 5 confidence scoring on every open, native in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
