The question includes a scale range – 3, 5, 7, and 10-point scale- and respondents are asked to select the score they want to give the brand. After the score is collected separate the positive and negative scores given by the respondents.

CSAT score involves dividing the sum of all positive responses by total responses collected from the survey. The fraction is multiplied by 100 to receive the percentage of customers satisfied with their experience. 

If you are confused about how to compare your CSAT score with other companies when you use a 10-point scale and they use a 5-point scale. You need to convert the score into a percentage. The percentage will give you a universal CSAT score. 

On a 5-point scale, if customers give you a 4 or 5, they can be considered happy. Similarly, on a 10-point scale, a score of 8, 9, or 10 indicates happy and satisfied customers. If you receive any score below these you need to follow up with the respondents to understand their issues.
