Frequently asked questions

How is WPM (words per minute) calculated?

The standard method counts every 5 correctly typed characters as one word, then divides by the elapsed time in minutes: WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes. This tool uses that same standard, so your score is comparable to other typing tests.

What is a good typing speed?

The average typing speed is around 40 WPM. A speed of 50–60 WPM is solid for most office and school work, 70+ WPM is fast, and professional typists often reach 80–100+ WPM. Keep accuracy above 95% — speed with mistakes is slower overall because of corrections.

How can I improve my typing speed?

Use touch typing with all ten fingers, keep your eyes on the screen instead of the keyboard, and prioritise accuracy before speed. Practise a few minutes daily, keep relaxed posture, and gradually increase difficulty as your rhythm improves.

Is this typing speed test free and private?

Yes. The test is completely free with no sign-up. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent to a server — only your best WPM score is stored locally on your own device.

Does the typing test work on mobile?

Yes. The layout adapts to phones and tablets and uses your on-screen keyboard. For the most accurate measurement of your true typing speed, a physical keyboard on a laptop or desktop is recommended.

How to test your typing speed

  1. Choose your settings. Pick a duration (15s, 30s, 60s or 2min) and a difficulty level.
  2. Start typing. Click Start or simply begin typing the highlighted passage — the timer starts on your first keystroke.
  3. Watch your stats. Your WPM, accuracy, characters and mistakes update live as you type.
  4. Review your result. When time is up, see your final WPM and accuracy. Your personal best is saved locally.

About this typing speed test

This free typing speed test measures how fast and accurately you type, right in your browser — no app, plugin, or sign-up required. In as little as 15 seconds you get two key numbers: your typing speed in words per minute (WPM) and your accuracy as a percentage, plus a live count of characters typed and mistakes made.

WPM tells you how quickly you produce text, while accuracy shows how clean that text is. The two work together: raw speed means little if you constantly stop to fix errors, so the best typists aim for a steady rhythm with accuracy above 95%. Choosing a longer duration, such as 60 seconds or two minutes, gives a more reliable average than a short 15-second sprint.

To improve, practise regularly with the easy, medium and hard passages, keep your fingers on the home row, and resist the urge to look down at the keyboard. Whether you're a student, writer, developer, data-entry professional, or simply curious how fast you type, this online WPM test gives you instant, accurate feedback and remembers your personal best on your device.
