Two tools
Two free tools. One checks an address before you send. The other measures your bounce rate after. First, the Bounce Email Checker. It asks the question before you send, so the bounce never happens. It opens a live SMTP conversation with the receiving server. Nothing is delivered. Type an address, and click Check bounce risk. Likely hard bounce. The server says this mailbox will permanently reject mail. It is marked not deliverable. Remove it now, and that bounce never reaches your report.
Email Bounce Rate Calculator
The second tool is the Email Bounce Rate Calculator. It's for a send you've already made. Enter what you sent and what bounced. Here, 10,000 sent and 150 bounced. The hard and soft split is optional. The rate is 1.5%, and it reads healthy. The formula is bounced divided by sent, times 100. The split matters more. Hard bounces are 0.8%. Soft bounces are 0.7%. Hard bounces are the permanent ones.
Read the thresholds
Under 2% is healthy. 2 to 5% is a warning. Above 5% is dangerous. So check addresses before you send, and measure the rate after.
