How to Calculate Words Per Minute

WPM measures the speed of reading or typing.

Formula

WPM = Total Words / Minutes

Benchmarks

  • Average reading speed: 200–250 WPM
  • Fast reader: 300+ WPM
  • Average typing speed: 40–50 WPM
  • Professional typist: 70+ WPM

    • Ejemplo Resuelto

    A student reads 500 words in 2.5 minutes.

    1. WPM = 500 / 2.5 = 200
    2. Words per hour = 200 x 60 = 12,000
    3. Seconds per word = (2.5 x 60) / 500 = 0.30
