Understanding Reddit karma types
Post karma comes from upvotes on your submissions, comment karma from upvotes on your comments. Many communities look at total karma together with account age; a balanced profile reads as a real participant.
How the estimate works
Time to goal = (goal karma - current karma) / weekly karma pace. Example: from 150 to 1,000 karma at 50 a week takes about 17 weeks. Reddit's exact karma formula is not public, so treat any estimate as approximate.
What is a good karma score?
| Karma | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Under 100 | A new account |
| 100 to 1,000 | A regular user |
| 1,000 to 10,000 | An established account, clearly active for a while |
| 10,000+ | An active community member |
| 50,000+ | A heavy contributor, in the top few percent |
