Typing Speed Calculator — Formula
## How Typing Speed Is Measured
Typing speed is measured in words per minute (WPM). Net WPM subtracts errors for a more accurate measure of productive speed.
### Formula
**Gross WPM = Total Words / Minutes**
**Net WPM = (Total Words - Errors) / Minutes**
**Accuracy = (Total Words - Errors) / Total Words x 100%**
Typing speed is measured in words per minute (WPM). Net WPM subtracts errors for a more accurate measure of productive speed.
### Formula
**Gross WPM = Total Words / Minutes**
**Net WPM = (Total Words - Errors) / Minutes**
**Accuracy = (Total Words - Errors) / Total Words x 100%**
Exemplo Resolvido
You typed 250 words in 5 minutes with 8 errors.
- Gross WPM = 250 / 5 = 50 WPM
- Net WPM = (250 - 8) / 5 = 48 WPM
- Accuracy = 242 / 250 x 100 = 96.8%
