Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing speed?
The average typing speed is 40 WPM. 50-60 WPM is considered good. 70+ WPM is fast. Professional typists typically reach 80-100 WPM. Competitive typists can exceed 150 WPM. For most office jobs, 50-60 WPM with good accuracy is sufficient.
What is the difference between gross and net WPM?
Gross WPM counts all characters typed divided by 5 (standard word length). Net WPM subtracts errors from gross WPM: Net WPM = Gross WPM - (Errors / Minutes). Net WPM better represents actual productive typing speed.
How is typing WPM calculated?
WPM = (Total Characters / 5) / Minutes. The standard 'word' is defined as 5 characters including spaces. So typing 300 characters in 1 minute = 60 WPM. Errors are subtracted for Net WPM.
