Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good typing speed in WPM?
The average typist achieves 40–50 WPM. Professionals typically type 65–75 WPM. A speed above 80 WPM is considered excellent, while 100+ WPM is expert-level.
How is WPM calculated?
WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes elapsed. Only correctly typed characters count — errors reduce your net WPM score.
How do I improve my typing speed?
Practice touch typing using all fingers. Maintain proper posture — wrists off the desk, elbows at 90°. Avoid looking at the keyboard. Focus on accuracy first; speed naturally follows with consistent practice.
Does this test save my keystrokes?
No. All processing runs locally in your browser via JavaScript. No keystrokes, results, or any personal data are uploaded or stored.
What is the difference between gross WPM and net WPM?
Gross WPM counts all characters typed including errors. Net WPM (what this tool reports) subtracts errors for a more accurate real-world performance measurement.
