This tool calculates how many words you type per minute, giving you a clear measure of your typing speed.
How to Use the Words Per Minute Calculator
To use this calculator, simply follow these steps:
- Start typing your text in the provided text area.
- After you have finished typing, enter the total time spent typing (in seconds) into the provided input field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to see your Words Per Minute (WPM) result.
How It Calculates the Results
The calculator counts the number of words you’ve typed and divides that number by the time you’ve spent typing (converted to minutes). The formula used is:
WPM = (Number of Words) / (Time in Seconds / 60)
Limitations
It’s important to note the following limitations of this calculator:
- The accuracy of the WPM result depends on the precision of the time input you provide.
- It does not factor in typing errors or corrections. Therefore, it only measures raw typing speed.
- Words are defined as any sequence of characters separated by spaces. Special characters and punctuations are counted as part of words.
