Formula
(Successful deliveries / Emails sent) * 100
Calculation example
Suppose you sent out 1,200 emails, and 1,000 of them were successfully delivered.
The Delivery Rate would be (1,000 / 1,200) * 100 = 83.33%

Possible causes of worsening
Spam Triggers in Email Content
Email content triggering spam filters can result in a lower delivery rate as emails are more likely to be flagged as spam and diverted from inboxes.
Poor Sender Reputation
A bad sender reputation due to past spam complaints or low engagement can harm deliverability, causing a decline in the delivery rate.
